Lift On! Lift On!

Lifter


In 1992, two young students in York decided to get fit, not fat, and started visiting their local gym. Out of their minds on yeast extract and steroids, they also wrote a song about it:

MC Daz-man and MC Kel-C : The Weights Room Rap

Lyrics

For the first time ever, the complete lyrics to this disturbing piece are now available:

MC Daz-man Miller and MC Kel-C!
Yeah!

I said I'm kicking!
Kicking!
Some kilos!
Kilos!

I said I'm moving!
Moving!
Some masses!
Masses!

I said I'm tugging!
Tugging!
Some tonnage!
Tonnage!

Hear the cock crow, are you ready for weights?
Like Hell we are!
Lift on! Lift on!

I said I'm pushing!
Pushing!
Some poundage!
Poundage!

I said I'm wellying!
Wellying!
Some weights!
Weights!

I said I'm displacing!
Displacing!
Some densities!
Densities!

Hear the cock crow, are you ready for weights?
Like Hell we are!
Lift on! Lift on!

I was lying at home,
day after day,
would I go out?
Hey hey hey,
no way!
My life a mess,
my belly a jelly,
but then I decided to give weights some welly!

I said I'm lifting!
Lifting!
Some loads!
Loads!

I said I'm heaving!
Heaving!
Some heavies!
Heavies!

I said I'm shifting!
Shifting!
Some steel!
Steel!

Hear the cock crow, are you ready for weights?
Like Hell we are!
Lift on! Lift on!

Hear the cock crow, are you ready for weights?
Like Hell we are!
Lift on! Lift on!

Pump up the iron!
Make some noise boys!
Everybody in the weights room, raise your arms!

Yeeaahhh!

...but then I decided to give weights some welly!

Lifter


Where are they now?

MC Kel-C put down the microphone and took up the wheels of steel, becoming a successful DJ under the name "CK-DJ". He is now an actor and lives in London.

Fame was not so kind to MC Daz-man, he spent several years in and out of clinics fighting a crippling raw egg addiction. He now lives in Birkenhead.


Everybody in the weights room, raise your arms!

Please, make it stop... Mr S.A.
