Lyrics
Pick up to six lines to make a card.
On the mic at this time, in the place to be
I'm the inhuman orchestra called Biz Markie
The major dancer, make the music with my mouth and all
But I'm here to talk about the Albee Square Mall
I'm letting people shop in downtown Brooklyn
Where I could be found if you're looking for me
The B-I-Z, just come check me out
'Cause 24/7, I'm like in the house
And when I come in the mall and then I start to roam
You wouldn't think it's a store, you would think it's my home
'Cause when I come in a place and then I hang up a sign
Readin' "Home Sweet Home, house is mine"
Albee Square Mall
My house is the Albee Square Mall
My house is the Albee Square Mall
My house is the Albee Square Mall
I been to many malls from state to state
But I never been in, say, one this great
I hate to say about the other shopping centers that's left
But the Albee Square Mall is the doo-doo def
I be in there every day, walkin' around chillin'
From when they open all the way until
When it's about time for the place to close
I'm just running things like a pair of pantyhose
They all know me, the Biz Markie
I get more respect than the average employee
I work in any store in the mall
Because the place is my house from wall to wall
If I could move in, party people, I just might
So I could stay forever and it will be just like
A bum that you see sleeping on apartments
Is how it would be when you see Biz Mark in
My favorite mall for having fun
Seems to me this mall is like number one
And any other shopping center to try to compare
There ain't no way they can hang out with Albee Square
Albee Square Mall
My house is the Albee Square Mall
My house is the Albee Square Mall
My house is the Albee Square Mall
I step in the place and shop around for a while
Buy some jewelry from Trani and Ali
And after that, I'll go take a stroll inside of
Gibb's Puppets, buy some fresh silk Bally's too and
Next, stop Olympic Winner to buy some sneakers
Then hit the game room to pick me up a Caesar
Stroll around with a fly female
While security's riffing about, leaning on the rail
After that, I go eat some food in Wendy's
In the Albee Cafeteria, Cookie Shop, and Blimpy's
Store to store just stuffing my face
And I do the one-two by saying my grace
Finally, I step off all alone
Up to the top of the level to use the telephone
Never use a quarter 'cause I got a calling card
So I can reach out and touch everybody I know
And that's where I'll be until the day is done
Coolin' in the place that's number one
The next time you be in Brooklyn walking around
Play like Price Is Right and come on down and
Go shopping, go shopping
Go shop— Let's all go shopping
Go shopping, go shopping
Go shopping, let's all go shopping
Go shopping, go shopping
Go shopping, let's go, go shopping
Go shopping, go shopping
Go shopping, Swan and Biz, go shopping
You that's right, we made number one
Albee Square Mall is number one
I'd like to thank my man Hall
I'd like to thank my man Dore
And I'd like to thank my man Dumore
I'd like to thank Canine Jeweler
I'd like to thank Gibbs
I'd like to thank Olympic Winner
I'd like to thank Olympic Winner for making my business
I'd like to thank Al Capone
I'd like to thank Wendy's
I'd like to thank Albee Cafeteria
And I'd like to thank the Cookie Shop
And I'd like to thank Oak Green
And I'd like to thank Dose of Madness
And Kiwanis and White Claw
And the original Pepsi Pop
And East New York, Brownsville
And everywhere in Coney Island
I'd like to thank everybody in Queens, Manhattan
And Long Island, and especially Harlem Mall
