The Showstopper Lyrics by Salt N Pepa

[once again my friends and countrymen

Lend us your ears and eyes

The showstopper is stupid fresh

When will you be satisfied? ]


Yo, bust it sandy d.

Yo, whats up?

Have you ever been to jams when people just stand

And they pay to come in, and they dont even dance?

Theyre so uncouth they think theyre cute

Am I lying? no, its the truth

Right now Im gonna show you how its supposed to be

Cuz we, the salt and pepa mcs

Will chance the circumstance rocks your pants

My fans, this is called the jam


Sandy...what? ...sandy...what?

Sandy, well be breaking hearts, ya know

Thats true, its all about money though

But douglas and richie wont like it (so? )

Come on then, lets stop the show


Yo, this beat is stupid fresh

Huh, yeah, you know it, cold dissed doug fresh

Top choice, of course, the rest is soft

Set it off, do it set it off, do it

Set it off, do it set it off, do it


Listen now, I aint down to rap

Are you serious? just like a heart attack

Come on now, cher! I dont want to

Get on now, cher! do I have to? yeah!


Well I really dont have too much to say

Yo, then heres my story anyway

Its just a little somethin too hot to be missed, girl

I was going downtown (? ? ? ), serious

Cher took the train home from work

Pissed off because of a stain on my shirt

The train made a stop (where? ) two hundred and five

And a little soft guy walked inside


He wore plastic ballys and a booty gucci suit

Cracked a little smile and showed a fake gold tooth

Was he cute? negative, he was a dupe

Instead of polo he wore ? ? ? ?

La-di-da-di what?

La-di-da-di uh-huh, word to mother


The boy was rude, I didnt approve

He tried to make a move I said, stop it, dude!

I started to cuss and began to swear

He said, listen girl, I like the way you comb your hair

And I like the stylish clothes you wear

Is there something that I can do

To show how much I really care?

Like when Im all alone with you

My heart just skips a beat or two

And you put that fire inside of me

That shows its more than just a dream

And I like it, and I like it

I said, please, dont get excited!


Dont you know Im too young for you, mister?

Sally from the valley - shes my sister

And that lady you dissed - that was my mother

You hurt two of my family, you wont get another

He tried to deny it, said it was a lie

He wanted to explain, explain to me why

I said, dont bother, theres really no need

Sally died when she hit the concrete

He said, come on, youre puttin me on

As I got up to walk he sang this song:


Oh, baby please dont go

What must I do to show

The way I feel for you, girl

Is going to be real?

But in reality, I know well never be

Cuz youre still walking away from me


A dis, a dis
