The longest version from the 12" vinyl, with rapping!

Lyrics:
DJ Jazzy Jeff and yours truly The Fresh Prince
Are making an addition to all the events
Of the past and present musical eras
We want the young and the old to hear us
As we blend two different style musics
Never will another group be able to do this
The way that we mix, the present with the past
A hip-hop but with A Touch of Jazz

Attention to all parents and guardians
Here's a rap record that's not about partying
It's deep, with meaningful rapping
It could very well close the generation gap in
music and make parents and children
All sit down and they'll both be willing
To listen to our music, rap with class
It's hip-hop but with A T-T-T-Touch of Jazz

Making a record is similar to baking
You need ingredients if you plan on making it
come out correctly
And in a second I'm gonna give the recipe we used for this record
A quarter cup of rhymes, and a cup of beats
A half a cup of clubs and a dash of the streets
A piece of the present and a pinch of the past
Throw in Jeff and The Prince and A Touch of Jazz

It's amazing, no, in fact it's phenomenal
It's utterly stupendous, it's mind boggling
How could 2 guys such as Prince and Jazzy Jeff
Wind up being so def
Who do you know, huh, with this much talent?
You say you know someone? I doubt it pal
You know why, cos we're the cream of the crop
Who else would've thought to mix jazz up with hip-hop
Huh, what's wrong? The cat got your tongue?
You know that this record is headed for number 1
on the chart, cos we're tops in our class
Cos we mixed hip-hop up with A Touch of Jazz
