    "Boogie Down" is a 1973 song recorded by Eddie Kendricks for Motown Records' Tamla label. The song was co-written by Leonard Caston, Jr., Anita Poree and Frank Wilson, the same song writing team that had composed "Keep on Truckin'", Kendricks' first major hit as a solo artist. Caston and Wilson co-produced the song and the arrangement was handled by Caston, Wilson and David Van DePitte.

    Like "Keep on Truckin'", "Boogie Down" is an up-tempo, Disco/Funk number that saw heavy rotation in dance clubs. Released as a single from the album of the same name, "Boogie Down" became Kendricks' second consecutive single to top the Billboard's R&B Singles Chart, holding the number one position for three weeks, and just missed becoming his second straight #1 on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart, peaking at number two for two straight weeks. However, it was his second # 1 single on the Cash Box top 100 chart. Billboard ranked it as the #30 Pop single of 1974.

    Verse 1
    ( Joe Flizzow )
    aiyo here goes the phatso wit' mad flows

    macho, afro playin' in retro
    Joe keep it ghetto in the metro
    ( Mallique )
    now scooch,scooch and make way for the shorty
    hoochie koochies wanna smooch me at parties
    I'm just a plain ol' rapper ain't no bawla
    but still I'm gettin' hollers from gurlies as hot as
    Paula
    Too Phat at first you thought we phony wrestlers
    but now you know that ain't no other rapper specialer
    the word phat suddenly a phenomenon
    kids buyin' Whutthadily? tapes for they dads and moms
    the kinda role model wannabe's wanna see
    I'm gettin' love from those who usta make fun of me
    to all the haters yeah I know you can hear me now
    even sick and paralyzed critics can feel me now
    ( Joe )
    now throw your hands up like you havin' pom poms
    and if you think youre sexy shake you bon bons
    and keep on bump and grinding to the song
    'til your skirt fall off and everybody see your thong
    thongs
    Verse 2
    ( Malique )
    again up in your area, phatter and harrier
    another bomb album means another mass hysteria
    if you dont like me, see I dont give a heck and a half
    heck and half 4x
    ( Joe )
    again its Big Willy, ticklin' your belly
    silly lie a kid now don't call me billy
    whuthadilly yo? late night up in the studio
    clutch my pillow, puff on my cigarillo
    ( Malique )
    ay Jiggedy Jizzoe with the Flizzow, go grab a
    cappuchino
    lock flows, clock dough, rock shows all over the nation
    slip a paper and my station-nery, naw man skip the
    dictionary
    vocabulary straight outta Maliquetionary
    you see me smilin' spittin' rhymes so revolutionary
    Too Phat, the strongest, the couldn't handle us
    your gurl wants me now you calling me scandalous?
    envious, emcees ain't never heard of us
    but now they hear my voice and gettin nervous
    ( Joe )
    from Joanne to Jane, Renee to pretty Isha
    when I'm gone with the wind they say baby I missyaa
    Verse 3
    ( Malique )
    aiyoh alotta critics are makin me sick, sick
    sayin' its only narcissism and chicks chicks
    it's too bad your mom and auntie think I'm handsome
    I'm sorry litle man. I held your gurlies eyes for
    ransom
    ( Joe )

    sound

    peace, one love and may the boggie be with you...
