Hey! Hey! Could somebody tell me where the party at?

Put’em up, put’em up, put’em up,
put your hands up, put’em up,
I see ya — bass line! Come on!

Yo what’s up y’all,
this is Doug E. Fresh
Much love and much respect
and this is “The Joy of Creating.”
Come on!
Now let me tell you something,
watch this.
You know what —

Force yourself to smile and you’ll soon stop frowning.

Force yourself to laugh and you’ll soon find something to laugh about.

Ain’t that right? Ya see?

Wax enthusiastic and you’ll very soon feel so.

A being causes his own feelings.

It’s “The Joy of Creating” y’all.
It’s “The Joy of Creating” y’all.
Come on! Put’em up, yeh.

The greatest joy
there is in life
is creating.

Splurge on it!

Come on!
Ain’t that right?
It’s “The Joy of Creating” y’all.
Ain’t that right? Watch this!

Jump around if you know you love creating.

Jump around if you know you love creating.
Jump around if you,
Jump around if you,
Put up your hands if you know that you’re down.

Say joy, say joy.

Yo! There’s a positive force and a negative force
And a spiritual being has the freedom of choice
I can make music by using my voice,
Turn a frown to a smile, make people rejoice
From a real good feeling that’s hard to fake
The greatest gift in life is to love create
So don’t hesitate, just communicate
And get in the game and participate
Splurge on it!
Splurge on it!
Come on!

It’s “The Joy of Creating” y’all.
Ain’t that right?
“Joy of Creating” y’all.
Come on!
Put’em, put’em, put’em up now.
Put’em, put’em, put’em up now.
Put’em up now.

That’s what it’s all about, baby!
