THERE ARE NO LYRICS FOR "CANTALOOP". The only really text is "Pumpkin,
pumpkin". Cantaloop is (supposed to be) an instrumental number!!

I think you must be thinking of Herbie Hancock's original "Cantaloupe
Island", on which US3's "Cantaloop" was based, because there are definitely
words in the latter! I can't remember what they are, though, although I
seem to recall they said "Flip Fantasia" a lot.

Yeah, there are. I remember it started out saying something like,
"Cooly, Groovy, Jazzy, Funky, Bounce, Pounce, As we dip on the melodic
scene" or something similar. The song seemed pretty much nonsensical
though. It was on the MTV Buzz Bin Vol. 1 CD a few years back.

Cantaloop... US3

Groovy, groovy, jazzy, funky
pounce ounce, dance as we
drip in the melodic scene
river keeps flowing
and drips the MC
sweet sugar pop sugar pop
roxy pop you don't stop
'til the sweet beat drops
i show improvement as i get these movements
every poems recited on top of the groove
smooth, my, floating like a butterfly,
no stage flow, sung like a lullaby
brace yourself as the beat hits ya
dip trip, flip fantasia

chorus

bitty bitty bob (yeah?)
bitty bitty bop (yeah?)
funky funky

feel the beat drop, jazz and hip-hop
dripin' in your dome makes your zoning bop
funky fusing, fly your losing
keeps you coasting on the river you're cruising
up down round and round, finally found
but never the less you've got to get down
fantasy freak to the beat so unique,
you move your feet, and sweat from the heat
back to the fact i'm the mack and i know that
the way i kicked the rhymes someone called me a poet
going steady flow, as I'm making this sound
going steady flow in fantasia i'm found
many tripped the tore, upon the rhymes they soared
to an infinite height, too mellow for hardcore
here we go off i take you
dip trip, flip fantasia

chorus

jump to the jam boogie woogie jam slam
bust a dialect, i'm the man in command
come flow with the sounds, i'm the mighty mic master
rhyming on the mic is something like disaster
boku ducks but i still rock nike
with the razzle dazzle, star i might be
scribble drabble scrabble, on the microphone i babble
as i fix the funky words, into a puzzle
yes, yes, yes, on and on as i flex
get with the flow, birds manifest
feel the vibe from here to asia
dip trip, flip fantasia, ow.
