Buddy Lester (January 16, 1917 – October 4, 2002) was an American comedian and actor who played dozens of character roles in films and television. Though probably best known for his appearances in Jerry Lewis' comedy films, he was also regularly seen on popular television shows (such as The New Phil Silvers Show and Barney Miller) in the 1960s and 70s. As a comedian, he was a fixture on the international nightclub circuit for several decades and was the brother of comedian Jerry Lester.
William "Buddy" Lester was born Jan. 16, 1917 (some sources state 1916), in Chicago, Illinois. He began performing in variety shows in Chicago theaters at the age of seven, with his older brother Jerry, who later became host of Broadway Open House, the television forerunner of The Tonight Show. He claimed in interviews that an early booster was the notorious mobster Al Capone, who helped the underage entertainers get jobs in nightclubs. After serving in the Navy during World War II, Lester, already an established stand-up comedian, stage actor, and radio host, eventually began appearing in films and on TV, becoming a popular character actor. His first film role was playing himself, as a nightclub entertainer, in the 1959 movie The Gene Krupa Story, which starred Sal Mineo.
Yo I'm a battlestar knight like I'm jedi
Rough to the tough but I'm sharper than the geam in your eye
Galactic battlestar like I'm ready
Ready for the 12 check get steady, on your marks set
your best to throw you hands high
Heads to the sky keep your eyes peeled listen for the sign
A trip stage walk wire, I bring fire till I'm done
you cause there can only be one
How many times does it sound like this
here we come again the microphone specialists
Action time
Take back the track rewind
sing it for me one more time
[Chorus:]
If you feel the force throw your hands to the sky
Put your hands up, get em' up, put your hands high
If you wanna jump we can give you what you want
Put your hands up, get em' up, put your hands high (2x)
I lead the packs like Bruce Wayne leads da batz
Rocking top hats with my verbal attacks
yo when I raps boogie down
can you hear the bell tower ring when you're time travelling from
The funk that I bring fly wit me
I'll take you higher when I'm walking over fire, come on follow the messiah
I run jump skips over battle ships
Doing lyrical back flips on the stage that I rips
How many times does it sound like this
Here we come again the microphone specialists
action time
take back the track rewind
sing it for me one more time
[Chorus]
How many times does it sound like this
Here we come again the microphone specialists
action time
take back the track rewind
sing it for me one more time
[Chorus]
