Cabbage Patch - World Class Wreckin' Cru

Went to a party in West L. A

Wanna learn a new dance, that’s what you say

Well, here’s a new dance that can’t be matched

So just step to the floor and do the Cabbage Patch

When I got to the party, it was half past 9

Cold rockin' to the rhythm a B-boy's rhyme

When I stepped to the floor it was a total wreck

'Cause I tried to do The Wop and almost broke my neck

Now when I got to the party, all the girls went nuts

'Cause I was jammin' to the DJ’s cut (Say what?)

Word up, it was a trip, oh yes indeed

Hurt my back when I tried to bust the Centipede

Then I stepped off the floor just to keep my respect

Saw my homie Dr. Dre cold rubbin' his neck

He said, there’s a new way that’s right and exact

So we made this dance called the Cabbage Patch

Now it’s easy to do, only done by a few

So just pay close attention to the Wreckin' Cru

You don’t need fresh clothes or a pretty face

You just need hella beat with a so-so bass

Now my name is Dr. Dre, and I’m Shakespeare

And we’re about to put the Cabbage Patch dance in gear

So if you wanna learn the dance, then you should not miss

'Cause it goes a little something like this…

If you didn’t see it, here’s what you do

Just listen up close and we’ll explain to you

'Cause the Cabbage Patch dance is only for fresh kids

But they have to know exactly what time it is

You move your left shoulder up and the right one down

And if you wanna get ill, try to turn it around

You have to move your feet too, that’s what I said

But they have to syncopate with the moves of your head

When you got the dance right, then you will know

'Cause your body will sweat and your face will glow

And if you try another dance then you’ve got nerve

'Cause any other dance is to the curb (Yeah, it is)

It’s the Cabbage Patch dance and it’s from L. A

It started with Shakespeare and my main man Dre

And with Lonzo here we only need one more

That’s my mellow Yella man 'cause he completes the four

It’s the Wreckin' Cru y’all from the T-O-P

Gonna do it like this 'til we’re B-I-G

Shakespeare and Dr. Dre gonna rock it like this

Giving good vibrations just like Sunkist

Donovan’s in the place, he’s the engineer

Gonna try to make the cut sound crystal clear

When he pumps the bass up, your eardrums swell

From the three kick drums out the SP-12

So right about now it’s time to get into it

The Wreckin' Cru is gonna show you how to do it

So get on the floor and take a chance

And bust a fresh move called the Cabbage Patch dance

While you’re rockin' to the Big Beat drum

Let us take a minute out and tell you where we’re from

It’s the West Coast city that they call L. A

That’s sunny California where the ballers play

If you’re not from here, I’ma let you know

That we never ever have to worry 'bout no snow

So just hit Venice Beach and put your mind at ease

'Cause it’s the middle of the winter and it’s 80 degrees

Cruisin' down Crenshaw with your top pulled back

Cold rockin' to the beat of the Cabbage Patch

Got a compact disc that’s top of the line

12-inch EB’s and a fresh Alpine

With the fresh Air Jordans and a Fila shirt

Headed to your homie’s house 'cause it’s time to do work

So then I called him on the phone to tell him I was near him

Had to cut the sounds down so that I could hear him

The last song we did was called «The Fly»

Didn’t quite hit, let me tell you why

When we cut the song it sounded great

Went to CBS, got stuck in red tape

Held us up, kicked us in the butt

So we said «Forget it, fire up Kru-Cut»

Picked up a group and we were on our way

Fresh homeboys called C.I.A
