Lyrics

Keep your distance...
Now tear it up, now tear it up, tear it up...
Hurricane, H-H-H-H-H-H-Hurricane!
Davy D's on the deck, so you better get back
Because there's nothing he'll lack, so just stay off your track
'Cause you just might get smacked with his scratch
Keep-keep-keep-keep your distance...
He makes the turntable turn till the needles burn
And Dave's intent is to make an instrument
Out of his two hands, and a record that backs
Spinning it back (keep-keep-keep-keep)
Just like that (keep your distance...)
Yes indeed, this is what you need
As Dave proceeds of the DJ plead
But under this circumstance you've got to
(Keep-keep-keep-keep-keep-keep your distance...)
When I count to four
I want everybody to lay off
Let the drummer go
When I count to four
I want you to come back in
One, two, three, four, hit it!
Now Dave, bring that beat back!
As Davy DMX throws on the glove
And as he begins to scratch you'll hop on the stove
You can't understand how he moves his hand, man
If you can, move your hand like this (this, this, this, this...)
(Keep) break it, break it, break it, break it...
Bring it on down, Dave
Now tear it up, now tear it up, tear it up...
(Please, keep...)
Hurricane, H-H-H-H-H-H-Hurricane!
Davy D's on the deck, so you better get back
Because there's nothing he'll lack, so just stay off your track
'Cause you just might get smacked with his scratch
Keep-keep-keep-keep your distance...
Get up and dance, you'll be left in a trance
Ladies, take off your pants, well under this circumstance
You gotta (keep your distance...)
It's controlled by the pull, or maybe the push
When he picks up the needle, all DJs get mushed
Why don't ya (keep), ya need to (keep)
You gotta (keep your distance...)
Keep...
Hurricane, Hurricane!
Keep...
