Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ho, ho, ho
[Verse 2]
Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it
Kemosabe, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it
Custer, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it
Apache, jump on it, jump on it woo-woo-woo-woo
A-hunga-hunga-hunga-hunga
[Verse 3]
I'm Big Bank, I am the Chief
I got a lot of raps but I'll be real
I never need a horse I like to chill
So I, drive up in my new Seville
My Tribe went down in the hall of fame
Cause I'm the one who shot Jesse James
Pound for pound, I will never break down
(Big Bank) No sir, I don't mess around
[Verse 4]
A-woo-woo-woo-woo, ho, ho
Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo-woo
[Verse 5]
Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it
Apache, jump on it, jump on it woo-woo-woo-woo
A-hunga-hunga-hunga-hunga
[Verse 6]
Like Kemosabi, of course it's me
I'm better known as the Master G
A firing squad, sensed the danger
When they're stung by the rapping ranger
Had a little talk with the medicine man
He said, get them squaws, fast as you can
To all you girls, that wanna join my tribe
Just move to my rhythm, and feel my vibe
Put up a fuss, in the end you'll agree
When you come inside, my tee-pee
As I said before, you could sense the danger
When you're stung by the rapping ranger
When Silver and I, take a ride
All you suckers better step aside
I sting squaws, then I run away
Hi-ho Silver, is what I say
[Verse 7]
Ho, ho, woo-woo-woo-woo
Hit it gang
Ho, ho, ho, a-woo-woo-woo-woo
[Verse 8]
Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it
Apache, jump on it, jump on it woo-woo-woo-woo
A-hunga-hunga-hunga-hunga
[Verse 9]
A pow-wow, just rock it out
Finger popping to the break of dawn
Keep it rocking like stuff that we call maize
(What's that?) Hot buttered popcorn
You just hippa-hoppa-dippa-boppa bang the boogie
Woogie betcha wanna boogie again
And you can put me to the test, at your request
I rock you out of your moccasins
Kemosabi got down, took off his mask
He kicked off his shoes and did the Monster Mash
Tommy came along, saw what was happening
His head began to bopping his foot start to clapping
Go slam, dunk, do the jerk
And with the mic is how my smoke signals work
They were jamming off a record that said it best
Now what you hear is not a test
[Verse 10]
A-woo-woo-woo-woo
A-hunga-hunga-hunga-hunga
A-hunga-hunga-hunga-hunga
