No sleep till  {riff := E5E5   G5 A5   B5  G5}  x 2  Brooklyn

riff  x 2  w/ drum

Foot on the pedal - never ever false metal
Engine running hotter than a boiling kettle
My job ain't a job - it's a damn good time                      E5E5
City to city - I'm running my rhymes                            B5  G5
On location - touring around the nation                         E5E5
Beastie Boys always on vacation
Itchy trigger finger but a stable turntable                     E5E5
I do what I do best because I'm illing and able                 B5  G5
Ain't no faking - your money I'm taking                         E5E5
Going coast to coast - watching all the girlies shaking
While you're at the job working 9 to 5                          E5E5
The Beastie Boys at the Garden - cold kickin' it live           '

riff  No sleep till  riff

Another place, another train, another bottle in the brain       w/ riff
Another girl, another fight, another drive all night

Our manager's crazy - he always smokes dust
He's got his own room at the back of the bus
Tour around the world - you rock around the clock               E5E5
Plane to hotel - girls on the jock                              B5  G5
We're thrashing hotels like it's going out of style             E5E5
Getting paid along the way cause it's worth your while
Four on the floor - Adrock's out the door                       E5E5
M.C.A.'s in the back because he's skeezin' with a whore         '
We got a safe in the trunk with money in a stack                E5E5
With dice in the front and Brooklyn's in the back

No (E5) sleep (G5) till Brooklyn (A5 B5 G5)  x 2

Ain't seen the light since we started this band                 E5~
M.C.A. - get on the mic my man                                  '
Born and bred Brooklyn - U.S.A.                                 E5E5
They all me Adam Yauch - but I'm M.C.A.
Like a lemon to a lime - a lime to a lemon
I sip the def ale with all the fly women
Got limos, arena, TV shows                                      E5E5
Autograph pictures and classy hos
Step off homes - get out of my way                              E5E5
Taxing little girlies from here to L.A.
Waking up before I get to sleep                                 E5E5
Cause I'll be rocking this party eight days a week              '
