[SOLVED] "Preppy Rap"

I'm looking for a song that came out around '80 or '81. I thought it was called Preppy Rap, but I could be wrong. It was basically a comical song with a white preppy sounding guy rapping about preppy things. i remember there was a bass line in the song taht ripped off "Another One Bites the Dust" Looking for any 30 or 40 somthings who might remember this.

I'm looking for the same song.

The only snippet I remember is: "My girlfriend is a spiffy little Cliffy and her name is Biffy McAdo." Or spellings to that effect.

It's interesting that your query is the only hit on Google!

Let's hope someone else has a memory or a lead.

Cheers.

Prep Rap preppy dappy dippy
that dip slip slop
can’t stop rapping to uptown downtown crosstown cookies
like we boogie to the preppy rap sound

well what you hear is not a joke
I can do the rap thing too.
I can say of lot of nothing words
as some other guys like to do.

I live on the upper east side
in a townhouse with a staff.
I got a live in maid, a butler and valet
who lays out my clothes draws a bath.

my girlfriend is a spiffy little clippy
and her name is biffy McAdo
her fathers very wealthy
he owns vermont and a chunck of New Hampshire too.

I wear aligator shirts, she wears airline skirts
and a circle pin on her lapel
and on our feet we got Sperry TopSiders
because they are classy and they look real swell

Hear me talking now, sasson, jordash
we don’t wear designer jeans
oh they fit rather well, they look like hell
we get khakis from l.l. beans

And on summer vacation we go to Nantuckit
were we sail or we fish in the sea
when it snows we grab warm clothes
and go out to Colorado to ski

Hear me say,
I got a B.A., M.A., PhD.
I’m a Phi Beta Kappa and a Summa Cum Laude
disortation on Thacory

I’m the first athlete to go through Harvard
on a scholarship of playing bridge.
I’m a grand slam man, and I don’t give a dam
if I’m stuck with a one club bid.

Speaking of school, I’m nobodies fool
I minored in Philosophy
?? ?? ?? ?? said Jean-Paul Sartre
and brother I do agree

Get away..........

(don’t know the rest.)

Now I don't have a Lincoln Continental or a sun-roof Cadillac
But I do have a little Maserati that gets me to the office and back

(musical interlude)

Biffy's got a sister, her name is Libby - she's studying acting at Yale
During bright summer days, Libby'd sit in the shade
Cause she says, "I'd rather be pale."

Libby's got a boyfriend, his name is James
Of ettiquette James is bereft
He seems confused about which fork to use
Or that port is always passed to the left.

Now Biffy and I we met one summer, studying music at the Sorbonne
We'd spend our days in Left Bank cafes, or strolling through the Jeu de Paume

As yes it was love, like hand in glove, cause we're both into music, you see
She likes the heavy Germans like Bruckner and Mahler
I tend to prefer Satie

We get along fine, we like fine wine - Chateau Figeaq or Margeaux
Or a jeroboam of Dom Perignon to wash down the escargo
Here me talkin' now -
S.N.O.B. - you think I'm a spoiled brat?
Well I just made this whole thing up
Now what do you think of that?


I am happy so many people like my song. I had so much fun with this thing - still am! I *think* I have the lyrics in the right order, but someone else might be able to fix it if I don't.

Totally loved this song -- still do, actually.

I've made a few corrections [bracketed] to zenpiper's and Cyclist's efforts. Missing lyrics have been added and everything has been placed in the correct order. Vive la Prep Rap!

Cause she says, "I'd rather be pale."

[ Yes, Libby's is great, and make no mistake, she lives up to the name MacAdoo.
She wears navy espadrilles, matching belt--little whales--
and the occasional spray of Jontue. ]

Libby's got a boyfriend, his name is James
Of ettiquette James is bereft
He seems confused about which fork to use
Or that port is always passed to the left.

[ Now James is quite a guy, you know the reason why?
He's a specialist at fixing foreign cars.
He fixed Mr. MacAdoo's old BMW by adjusting the anti-sway bars. ]
