The Fresh Prince’s Theme from The Fresh Prince of Bel-air mashed-up with Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up

Ooh ooh

Now this is the story all about how
We’re no strangers to love

My life got flipped, turned upside down
You know the rules and so do I

And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of

I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-air
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy

In west Philadelphia born and raised
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling

On the playground where I spent most of my days
Gotta make you understand

Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
We’ve known each other for so long

And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
Your heart’s been aching but

When a couple of guys, they were up to no good
You’re too shy to say it

Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
Inside we both know what’s been going on

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
We know the game and we’re gonna play it

And said “You’re moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air”
And if you ask me how I’m feeling

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
Don’t tell me you’re too blind to see

the License plate said “fresh” and had a dice in the mirror
We’ve know each other for so long

If anything I could say that this cab was rare
Your heart’s been aching

But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Bel-air!
You’re too shy to say it

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
Inside we both know what’s been going on

And I yelled to the cabby “Yo, homes smell you later!”
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling

Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
We know the game and we’re gonna play it

To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-air
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Newer Orpheus sat gloomy in his garden shed Wondering what to do With a lump of wood, a piece of wire And a little pot of glue O Mamma O Mamma He sawed at the wood with half a heart And glued it top to bottom He strung a wire in between He was feeling something rotten O Mamma O Mamma Orpheus looked at his instrument And he gave the wire a pluck He heard a sound so beautiful He gasped and said O my God O Mamma O Mamma He rushed inside to tell his wife He went racing down the halls Eurydice was still asleep in bed Like a sack of cannonballs O Mamma O Mamma Look what I’ve made, cried Orpheus And he plucked a gentle note Eurydice’s eyes popped from their sockets And her tongue burst through her throat O Mamma O Mamma O God, what have I done, he said As her blood pooled in the sheets But in his heart he felt a bliss With which nothing could compete O Mamma O Mamma Orpheus went leaping through the fields Strumming as hard as he did please Birdies detonated in the sky Bunnies dashed their brains out on the trees O Mamma O Mamma Orpheus strummed till his fingers bled He hit a G minor 7 He woke up God from a deep, deep sleep God was a major player in heaven O Mamma O Mamma God picked up a giant hammer And He threw it with an thunderous yell It smashed down hard on Orpheus’ head And knocked him down a well O Mamma O Mamma The well went down very deep Very deep went down the well The well went down so very deep Well, the well went down to hell O Mamma O Mamma Poor Orpheus woke up with a start All amongst the rotting dead His lyre tacked safe under his arm His brains all down his head O Mamma O Mamma Eurydice appeared brindled in blood And she said to Orpheus If you play that fucking thing down here I’ll stick it up your orifice! O Mamma O Mamma This lyre lark is for the birds, said Orpheus It’s enough to send you bats Let’s stay down here, Eurydice, dear And we’ll have a bunch of screaming brats O Mamma O Mamma Orpheus picked up his lyre for the last time He was on a real low down bummer And stared deep into the abyss and said This one is for Mamma O Mamma O Mamma O Mamma O Mamma 23 December 2012
