[Verse 1]
I'm the music man, I got the box
I've got the music that really rocks
From 77, to 92, and 107.5
[?] big burrito
New York, LA, to Puerto Rico
The rappers are stayin' alive
The rappers are stayin' alive
Now I'm here to say what I've got everyday
Whether you do or you don't believe (I believe!)
I'm a bad mother-sucker and a full-time trucker
And I need timeout to breathe (Catch your breath!)

[Chorus]
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
Thе box, the box, the box that rocks
Check thе Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
To the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
[Verse 2]
One night I walked across a field
Came across a light that was so unreal
Swooped on down, over my head
At the time I thought I'd soon be dead
When out of a ship [?] a big space man
In a silver shirt with matching pants
I said "Hey space dude, what you got in mind?
If you're gonna take over it's a really bad time
We're in a recession, ain't got no gas
"Shutup earthling, I just wanna dance
I came to see the box, check out the fad
'Cause where I come from the recession's bad
I [?] to the master jam
'Cause I'm a boogie space man, you know I am!"
"You can dance, I'll show you now
You've got six legs on you anyhow"
I turned up my box, he started to sway
He could be Travolta any old day
Then a big old laser soon appeared
And swooped up the sucker as I ducked in fear
The spaceship rolls on out of sight
I heard a voice say "Brother, you're alright
You're cool, my man, you done saved the world
With your boogie rhythm for the boys and the girls"
I felt so proud, walking to the car
'Cause I was a hero, a superstar
But when I put the key into the lock
I realize the sucker done stole my box!
[Chorus]
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I went to a party, late one night
I knew my box would sound alright
When I got there, guess what I found?
They all had boxes rapping with the sound
I said "Hold on suckers, I'm the king around here
Got the baddest box that you've heard in years"
A Stereophonic Panasonic joint
With a Big Mouth sound, let me make a point
[You can?] [?] [with ease?]
Rock your socks 'til it's time to leave
Play disco, big time R&B
I'll play some [songs?/sounds?] that you won't believe
All you mamacitas, salsa too
So you can dance to the rhythm 'til your feet turn blue
Show you how good my beat can be
I'll rock the house 'til a quarter to 3
'Cause my name is Chico, I'm from PR
My rap's gonna make me a superstar
So for all my brothers and my sisters too
Rapping to the music's what I wanna do
Black, white, brown, or red
I hope you're listening to what I just said!
[Chorus]
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Hear the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
On the train, or in a plane
I got the boogie that'll drive you insane
In the Bronx, or in Manhattan
My box has a sound that's really happenin'
Brooklyn, Staten Island or out in Queens
I'm out there playin' my sound machine
Well [qué mira, mami?] I've got the style
Come on, rock me, just a little while
I love the way you shake that thing
Come on, hear me rap, hear me sing
'Cause I've got the power of the dial
My funky rhythm's gonna, make you smile!

[Chorus]
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box

[Verse 5]
Panasonic, Stereophonic, it really doesn't matter to me
Don't [?] over the hump
'Cause the box is the way to be free
When I'm drivin' around in my Chevrolet
And I'm feelin' alright, feeling [?]
I yell "Mira, mami! Negra, come here"
I'm riding around and want to spread some cheer
Takes two to tango, just like they say
Don't wanna [dance (funk/rock/with) you?] anyway
'Cause I like your body, you got finesse
I wanna put you to the test
I know we could have a love affair
Beyond anything that could compare
'Cause [baby with?] your box and me with mine
I know we could have a real good time
We're the Big Mouth Band and we have a plan
To bring the funky rhythm across the land!

[Chorus]
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box

[Outro]
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
The box, the box, the box that rocks
Check the Big Mouth Band on your boogie-ty box
