It's Amateur Night at the Apollo Creed! Lyrics
Here's a new idea, I've got news for you:
There's no free rides tonight
If you're strapped for cash, I've got a job for you:
My boots need shining son
Sit down, shut up
Oh, where do we begin?
The streets are full of anything you want
The city lies inviting you right in
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
You can put your hands up
I love girls with Brooklyn haircuts
I'll be your fanclub
Step, step-- you're too slow
Speed it up
Here's your new position:
There's no need for you to waiti in line tonight at Misshapes
What's up? Where's your dancing shoes?
The kiddies get it on
All you wanted, I got
It would have never been enough for you anyway
Godspeed to finish what you started
There's no competition because you're not even in my league.
Fall into slow step, speed it up.
You can throw your fangs up
There's no free rides tonight
My boots need shining son
Oh, where do we begin?
The streets are full of anything you want
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
I love girls with Brooklyn haircuts
I'll be your fanclub
Step, step-- you're too slow
Speed it up
There's no need for you to waiti in line tonight at Misshapes
The kiddies get it on
It would have never been enough for you anyway
Godspeed to finish what you started
There's no competition because you're not even in my league.
Fall into slow step, speed it up.

great dance song!
"FANGS UP!" lol, God i love that so much.
Only two reviews wow...
this song is amazing i always wondered what a brooklyn haircut was lol
i think its about a night on the town. he's gonna have fun and no one's gonna stop him.
I can't believe more people haven't commented on this song. It's great.
To me, it screams: "Let's throw all our apprehensions away and party," one of those great "enjoy your youth" kind of anthems preaching and teaching the gospel of appreciating what you have and the fact that "you ain't dead yet." And I can definitely dig the "night on the town" comment by korkhead. This is something I'd love to listen to with friends while we head downtown for clubbing or whatever; great beat, great lyrics, and so freaking fun to dance to.
def one of my favorites by them
Amateur night has to do with stripping, I'm pretty sure. (or at least it does in some cases, and because it's Cobra it probably has to do with stripping)
amateur night at the apollo theater in harlem, nyc is when people do stand up comedy... im thinking hes making fun of the trendy [ex] misshape party kids?
It's actually about the fictional fight of Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa in Rocky 1 from Apollo's point of view.
The lines below are taunts (Apollo was taunting Rocky throughout the movie)
"What's up? Where's your dancing shoes? The kiddies get it on"
"If you're strapped for cash, I've got a job for you: My boots need shining son"
"There's no competition because you're not even in my league. v v
"You can put your hands up I love girls with Brooklyn haircuts I'll be your fanclub Step, step-- you're too slow Speed it up"
And finally, the song title.
"It's Amateur Night at the Apollo Creed" Rocky was brought in to fight Apollo creed as an Amateur fighter. Need I say more?
