[Intro]
Ah, push it
Ah, push it

Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Get up on this!
Ah, push it
Ah, push it
Ah, push it (Ow, get up on this)
Ah, push it (Get up on this)
Ow, baby
Salt and Pepa's here
Salt, Salt, Salt, Salt and Pepa's here
Salt, Salt, Salt, Salt, Salt, Salt and Pepa's here
Salt and, Salt and, Salt and Pepa's here
Salt, Salt, Salt, Salt and Pepa's here

(Now wait a minute, y'all; This dance ain't for everybody
Only the sexy people
So all you fly mothers, get on out there and dance
Dance, I said!)

[Verse 1]
Salt and Pepa's here, and we're in effect
Want you to push it, babe
Coolin' by day then at night working up a sweat
C'mon girls, let's go show the guys that we know
How to become number one in a hot party show
Now push it

[Chorus]
Ah, push it — push it good
Ah, push it — push it real good
Ah, push it — push it good
Ah, push it — p-push it real good

[Post-Chorus]
Hey! Ow!
Push it good!
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Oooh, baby, baby
Ba-baby, baby
Push it good
Push it real good
Ah, push it
Ah, push it

[Verse 2]
Yo, yo, yo, yo, baby-pop
Yeah, you come here, give me a kiss
Better make it fast or else I'm gonna get pissed
Can't you hear the music's pumpin' hard like I wish you would?
Now push it

[Pre-Chorus]
Push it good
Push it real good
Push it good
P-push it real good

[Chorus]
Ah, push it
Get up on this!
Ah, get up on this!
Ah ah, get up on this!
Ow, get up on this! (Hid it)
Boy, you really got me going
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing
Ah, push it
Ah, push it
Boy, you really got me going
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing
Ah, push it
Ah, push it
Ah
Ah, push it
Push it push push it push it
Push it, push push push it, push it
Push it, push it, push it push it push it
Push it, push it, push it push it push it

Salt-N-Pepa

Salt-N-Pepa is arguably the most successful female rap group of all time. The group began with Cheryl “Salt” James and Sandra “Pepa” Denton meeting while studying to be nurses. James got Denton a job at a Sears department store, where her boyfriend Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor also worked. Azor was studying music production and he asked them to help on a school project, an answer record to Doug E. Fresh’s “The Show” they named “The Showstopper” – recorded in 1985 under the name Supernature.

After the legendary Queens DJ Marley Marl played “The Showstopper” on his radio show, the group began getting booked for shows. One lyric in “The Showstopper” was ‘We the salt and pepper’, and people kept requesting ‘that salt and pepper song’, so they changed their name to Salt-N-Pepa. Deejay Deidra “Spinderella” Ropa was added soon after.

SNP’s debut album Hot, Cool, & Vicious originally spawned a minor hit in the UK with “My Mike Sounds Nice” in early 1987. But it was the re-release of a remix of “Push It”, originally a quickly-thrown together b-side for their fall ‘87 single “Tramp”, that shot the group into international stardom. The song reached the top 10 in eleven countries around the world in 1988.
