 Struggling with Rush Rush? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

He's on the level
If he's inclined
The son of a devil
He wants mine and more

He's a high, high climber
Not just a clinging vine
He made the grade, he made his marks, it's secure
And guess who's keeping score?

Rush rush, got the yeyo?
Buzz buzz, gimme yeyo
Rush rush, got the yeyo?
Yo yo, no no yeyo

He's a real speed demon
He's one of a kind
Watching, waiting, winking over his shoulder
He's running out of time

Rush rush to the yeyo
Buzz buzz, gimme yeyo
Yo yo, no no yeyo, go go
Rush rush to the yeyo

Never never take a chance before
Now he's in a hurry
Better, better make your mind up boy
He's faster

Rush rush, gimme yeyo
Buzz buzz buzz, gimme yeyo
No no, gimme yeyo
Yo yo, got my yeyo
