BEASTIE BOYS - Paul Revere lyrics

rate me

Now here's a little story - I've got to tell

About three bad brothers - you know so well

It started way back in history

With Adrock, M.C.A., and me - Mike D.

He had a little horsy named Paul Revere

Just me and my horsy and a quart of beer

Riding across the land - kicking up sand

Sheriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demand

One lonely Beastie I be

All by myself - without nobody

The sun is beating down on my baseball hat

The air is gettin' hot - the beer is getting flat

Lookin' for a girl - I ran into a guy

His name is M.C.A., I said, Howdy- he said, Hi

He told a little story - that sounded well rehearsed

Four days on the run and that he's dying of thirst

The brew was in my hand - and he was on my tip

His voice was hoarse, his throat was dry - he asked me for a sip

He said, "Can I get some?"

I said, "You can't get none!"

Had a chance to run

He pulled out his shotgun

He was quick on the draw - I thought I'd be dead

He put the gun to my head and this is what he said,

"Now my name is M.C.A. - I've got a license to kill

I think you know what time it is - it's time to get ill

Now what do we have here - an outlaw and his beer

I run this land, you understand - I make myself clear."

We stepped into the wind - he had a gun, I had a grin

You think this story's over but it's ready to begin

Now I got the gun - you got the brew

You got two choices of what you can do

It's not a tough decision as you can see

I can blow you away or you can ride with me I said, I'll ride with you if you

can get me to the border

The sheriff's after me for what I did to his daughter

I did it like this - I did it like that

I did it with a whiffleball bat

So I'm on the run - the cop's got my gun

And right about now - it's time to have some fun

The King Adrock - that is my name

And I know the fly spot where they gots the champagne."

We rode for six hours then we hit the spot

The beat was a bumping and the girlies was hot

This dude was staring like he knows who we are

We took the empty spot next to him at the bar

M.C.A. said, *Yipee *Yo, you know this kid?

I said, I didn't - but I know he did

The kid said, Get ready cause this ain't funny

My name's Mike D. and I'm about to get money.

Pulled out the jammy - aimed it at the sky

He yelled, Stick 'em up! - and let two fly

Hands went up and people hit the floor

He wasted two kids that ran for the door

I'm Mike D. and I get respect

Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect

M.C.A. was with it and he's my ace

So I grabbed the piano player and I punched him in the face

The piano player's out - the music stopped

His boy had beef - and he got dropped

Mike D. grabbed the money - M.C.A. snatched the gold

I grabbed two girlies and a beer that's cold.
