[Verse 1: Biz Markie] I was walking down the street, just-a minding my biz I saw this young lady, the ultimate She had a pair of jugs that was so fine Then I took a look at that behind 36-24-36, I looked to her and I said, "I need a fix" I asked her the same blahzay, blahzay Her name, where she live, and how much she weigh I got the digits and gave her my 1-800 beeper number You can leave a message under the name of Rhumba I know you're bugging off the nickname, I would be too But every time she be walking, she turns the heads of the crew Word is bond, I wouldn't be messing With this girl if I knew she was an adolescent To all the guys over 21, here's the news: It's the hip-hop version of the Young Girl Bluez
[Verse 2: Biz Markie] As the story goes on, I get a little deeper I got a strange message on my 1-800 beeper Call me looney, crazy, psychotic or dumb But I got a good message from a girl named Rum She said come and get me from Mickey D's at 8 That's where I work after school, pick me up for a date I was so excited that she called my pager But never thought to ask if she was a teenager She mentioned going to school, but I didn't think it was high If you saw what I saw, then you'd know why You wouldn't believe or even think of A bird like that could be a dove I picked her up in my Lexus coupe Only God knows what I'm doing is an oof Am I robbing a cradle? I'm very confused I'm stuck in the middle of the Young Girl Bluez
[Verse 3: Biz Markie] Now I was seeing her for about half a year Everything was fine and dandy without shedding a tear Age ain't nothing but a number, that's what Chi-Ali said Okay, then why don't you get that through the judge's head? Proceeding along, I must have to say It was coming very close to her birthday I asked, "What do you want?" She said, "A pair of earrings" I never knew what an avalanche the future brings Her birthday came and she gave a party I arrived kind of late to the place to be People was excited for seeing my face If my mother ever knew, I would be a disgrace "How old are you now?" to Rhumba-reen I was in shock when they screamed "Sixteen!" I felt like falling apart when I heard the news This is the never-ending saga of the Young Girl Bluez
“Young Girl Bluez” is the second single from Biz’s fourth album All Samples Cleared. It reached #4 on the US Rap Chart in late 1993. Basically, Biz explains the troubles of being an adult while being interested in an attractive girl who he doesn’t realize is underage. It may be making a reference to the 1967 Donovan song “Young Girl Blues”.
