Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Fm][F][Fm]

[Verse 1]
[C]Funk rock,
[Eb]new wave and soul
Pop music, salsa, rock [Dm]and roll
[C]Clips on [Eb]reggae, rhythm and blues
Mas[Cm]ter mix n[Eb]otes, number one t[Fm]unes
[Eb]Play that favorite song of mine
And accept my calls on [C]the request line
The [Eb]DJ will play it just for y[F]ou
But I [Eb]gotta get biz and [Dm]show
I know [Eb]how to
Play [F]that beat,
[C]watch what you [F]play [Eb]for me
Swing it, kick it, play that beat
Watch what you play for me
Swing it, [C]kick it, [F]play that beat
Play that beat
[Eb]DJs come and DJs go
Real DJs know how to rock a show
Various blends,
serious cuts and scratches
Original styles,
mysterious [C]techniques mastered
Play the hot [Eb]joints and never
talk too much
Into the [C]competition,
[Eb]you ain't jack[C]ed, you suck
Come and try to test [Eb]your
royal highness
Blessed [C]with [Eb]finesse,
plus we always impress
[C]All around [Eb]the world, DJs spin the sound
Lay it flat to the mat like that,
pin you [C]down
Pure, [Eb]secure, like a chemist with a cure
Yo, play that beat,
I wanna [C]hear it some more
Play [F]that beat, [C]play that beat,
play that beat, beat, beat
Play that beat, play that play that beat,
beat, beat
Play that beat, [Eb]play [C]that beat,
play that that beat
[F]Why don't you pla[C]y it for me?
[F]Play it, kick it, [C]play it for the punk rock
Play it for the hip -hop
They used to do it out [F]in the park
[C]Pla[Cm]y it on the[C] radio[Eb]
[F]Cut [C]it up, brain, cut [F]it up, [Eb]brain
[C]Cut it up, sling, cut it up, [F]sling[C][F]
[C]Cut it up, scrubs, cut it up, scrub[F]s[C][Eb]
Play it in the street
Just play that beat, [C]play it, dig it
Play that beat,
[F]why don't you play it for me?
Switch to me, Mr. [Eb]DJ, [C]play that beat
Why don't you [F]play it for me?
Switch to me, Mr. [C]DJ, play that beat
Play that beat
[F]Play that beat
Why don't you [Eb]play it for me?
And you can [C]play [Eb]it, play it,
and play it and play it and play it
And play it all night [Dm]long
And I'll [F]listen to [C]it over and [Eb]over again
and again and again and again
And you can play my song
And you'll just keep on dancing,
keep on dancing
Having fun till the morning [F]sun
And the [C]DJ [Eb]will play it just for you
But you gotta get [Dm]biz
and show you know [F]how to
[C]Play [F]that beat, [C]got a fight
Play that beat, DJ
Play that beat, got a fight
Play that beat, DJ
Play [Eb]that beat
Play that beat
Play that beat
Why don't you play it for me?
Play it, kick it
Yo [C]son, [Eb]we be holdin' it down
The [Cm]DJ's [Eb]illin' while I'm
killin' it now
Skillin' it now,
I know you're feelin' it now
In this battle try your fate
as I'm sealin' it now
I be the baddest,
with or without any status
Bound to kick ass when
I smash [Dm]the apparatus
So [Eb]play that beat
Just play that beat, play it, [C]kick it
Who's the [Eb]man with the music program?
DJ, DJ
[C]Who's the [Eb]man that'll make y[Eb]ou dance?
DJ, DJ
[C]Who's the one [Eb]that plays
your favorite [F#]songs?
[Eb]DJ, DJ
Say play that beat
Just play that beat, play it,
kick [C]it[Eb][Cm][Eb]
R [C]-r -rock -rock, [Eb]r -rock -r[Cm]ock,
