lyrics:

Yo let me talk to you, let me have a word with you
If your doin' somethin' else, I hope I'm not disturbing you
But if I am, so what? Stop it!
Cuase me and Jeff are about to co-rock this
We're musical, magical, radicals
No small letters in our names, only capitals
It's unbelievable, inconcievable that we'll ever be defeated
Impossible!
We're a brand new group, but so what man?
We still got hundreds of, thousands of fans
I'm the Prince and this is my crew
You thought that it was going you round

It's new, it's out of the ordinary
It's rather extrordinary, so yo bust this commentary
A literary genius and a superior beat creator have come together
And we made a musical composition which we think is a remedy
To cure all the dance floors that's empty
You wanna dance? We got what you want
Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince bustin' out with the brand new funk

(Get down) Brand new funk, funk

It was kind of an accident, the way that it happened
One day I was rappin', and on the beat, Jeff was backin' me up
And all of a sudden, he brought in a cut
And I dropped my microphone and said
"What the...? Hold up, Jeff, wait a minute, play it"
He just smiled and said, "Yeah def ain't it?"
It was funky, it made wanna (get, get down!)
And we knew almost at once it was the brand new funk
So we continued to listen to it
And we knew it was def when I started rappin' to it
So I gave a hi-five to Jeff and without hesitation popped in my cassette
I took it home that night, and analyzed it
Rewound the tape over and over, and memorized it
That Friday, we went to the club
And out and out cold tore it up!
You shoulda seen the people dancin' and shakin' and movin' and jumpin'
And spinnin' and clappin' while the beatboxin was groovin'
And screamin' and yellin' while on the microphone I was flowin'
Fresh rhymes I was showin', the people say, "Yo keep goin'"
So I continued to rock, while Jeff was on the beatbox
Special assistance from my homeboy Ready Rock
People barged just to get up front
to get a bird's eye view of what we call the brand new funk

(Ge-Ge-Get down)

Yo Jeff! (Rock the beat) [x5]
Yo Jeff! (Rock the beat with your hands..)
Now get funky with the beat
Now turn it all around

The most original, amazing, astounding, miraculous, remarkable, startling
Sensational, stupendous music that has ever been created
It's ours, but believe me it was complicated
But we have done it, so now we can breathe, a long awaited sigh of relief
This isn't a publicity stunt It's the raw untouched, pure, hard brand new funk!
