Welcome posse
We're kicking up

Once again, we have the plan
Driving you wild, as good as we can
Don't stop us now, we're gonna make you move
Raving outside to the passionate groove

So I wanna check the microphone
I wanna check the microphone
I wanna check, I wanna check
The Rick, the Ferris and MC H.P.
Scooter, back in the U.K.

Yes, somewhere in England, banging the bass
Join our trip to this weird place
Back to nature where we can be
Faster and harder, louder and free

I wanna check the microphone
I wanna check the microphone
I wanna check, I wanna check
The Rick, the Ferris and MC H.P.
Scooter, back in the U.K.

We started in 1994
In 1996, we're still on the case
Hold tight crew
Together no one can stop us now

So I wanna check the microphone
I wanna check the microphone
I wanna check, I wanna check
The birds, the trees, the clouds, the seas
The Rick, The Ferris and MC H.P.
