Jay’s Game Lyrics

That's the way it is

Huh
Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh

Jam Master Jay
J-J-Jam, Jam, Jam
Jam Master Jay
J-J-Jam, Jam, Jam

Kick off the shoes
K-k-kick, kick off the shoes
K-k-kick, kick off the shoes

Huh

'84, '84, '84
'80, '80, '80, '84
'80, '80, '80, '84
'80, '80, '80

J-J-J
J-A-Y are the letters of his name
J-A-Y are the letters of his name

Real, real, real Jam Master
Real, real, real Jam Master
And only practice makes a real Jam Master

That's the way it is
Way

Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run
Run, Run, R-Run-DMC and Jam-Master Jay

Way, way, way it is

Kick off the shoes

D-D-DMC and Jam-Master Jay

Kick off the shoes
Kick off the shoes, jump on the jock
Listen to the Jam Master as he starts to rock

K-k-kick

Like that and that's the way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way it is

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
