prince performed a rap version of 'come on' on jay lenos show

has this version been recorded at all?
and if so, where can i find it?

thankyou

A cd-singled was released that contains several remixes of the song, and they`re funky if you ask me. The second one on that cd would be what you saw on the Leno show.

U can listen to the remixes at NewPowerRadio.

The rap version he performed on leno is essentially the 'Come On' Remix

This version was transcribed by the DTT lyric team here and the lyrics are the closest (see below), although the broadcast didn't cover all of the recorded CD version.

The version was released on the following Maxi-single:

The New Power Generation: Come On
NPG Records 1998

1. Come On (Doug E Fresh Mix)
2. Come On (Remix)
3. Come On (Album Edit)
4. Come On (Hypermix)
5. Come On (Latenitemix)
6. Come On (Accapella)
7. The One (Remix)

Come On (remix)

(Say what?)
(Yeah)
(K.A.J. productions, y'all)
(Get up) {sample repeats throughout song}
Come on, come on, come on (Remix)
(N.P.G.)
Come on (Funky)
Come on (Come on, come on)
(Come on, baby) (Come on)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby) (Come on)

I know U got a young man
U don't care about the one that's been around (Say what?)
Matter'o'fact U got this club in a tizzy
Thinking U was rather partial 2 the high pitched sound
But baby, U got it wrong
I ain't the one that's tryin' 2 hit it till the break of dawn
(Hit it, man!)
I was only running dialogue
Trying 2 get the room number
Thinking we was Angela D. and H. Rap Brown
Just the 2 of us
In a situation so metaphysical (Yeah)
The subatomic Adam and Eve creatin' dreams
That'll keep this circle going round and round (Round and round)
There's nothing mystical
The world is born (Born)
Why does love have 2 get scorned? (Why?)
Just like the last name says he'll burn
In the fire with his body saying haters gotta learn

NPG gettin' it on
(Come on, baby) Come on (Come on)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby) NPG getting' it on... come on
(Come on, shake it now) (Getting' love in the club, come on)

The Millennium here at last (Right)
Fat lady sing when knowledge is past
Chaka Khan on the treble, Larry G on the bass (Chaka Chaka Khan)
Makin' mozzarella while the haters make waste
My haters get flushed, U see?
How can it be about them when it's about me (Me)
And it's cuz... (Yeah)
U all just on the Ponderosa in the back flossin' hoss
Ooh, now see, now see?
I know U got a young man but he can't do it like me, like me, what?
He rock U one time but I rock U 7 times, duh! (Yeah)
Come on, come on

(Come on, baby) (Come on, come on)
(Come on, shake it now) (NPG)
(Come on, baby) (Come on)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)

Tell me now what U heard (Tell me)
The truth is apparent in the translated word (Word)
This is all I ever wanted us 2 be (Yeah, 2 be)
2gether in the truth, God, U and me (Yeah)
Tell me now what make a generation last?
Smash on the gas when the devil try 2 pass
Freaks on this side moving so fast
Loving this truth like Miles love jazz

(Come on, baby) (Yeah, we ain't sleeping)
(Come on, shake it now) (Getting love in the club)
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby)
If U come 2 party let's bounce
Ohhh bounce! {x4}
Come, come, come, come
Bounce! {x8}

CHORUS:
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)

(Come on)
(Yeah, come on)
(Come on)
(Get in the right key)
(Come on band)
(Yeah)
(I like it)
(Come-a-come-a-come-a)

CHORUS
(Come on, sing this song, girl)

{crowd noise in background}
I know U got a young man
U don't care about me
He's darker than quicksand
He's taller than a tree
U could use some good lovin', baby
Instead of these young-ass fools
I got the butter 4 your muffin
Just need the keys 2 the room (Come on)

CHORUS
(Come on)
(Hey come on)
(Shake it)
(Come on)

We could freeze in London
U could hear me sing (Come on, come on)
If U wanna make love then
U got 2 wear my ring
See, I don't want no mistress (Londell)
I'd much rather be bound
Let's find a preacher, baby
So we can get down, down, down

CHORUS
(Said come on)
(Said it, come on)

20 days in London
U ain't gimme no love

Could it be another knucklehead
That U're thinking of?
Could it be your girlfriend
Who ain't never been straight
When I ask U - "Are U hungry, Mama?"
U say U already ate
Right on

CHORUS
(Baby, come on)
(Come on)

(Come-a-come-a... come on)

(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)
(Come on, baby)
(Come on, shake it now)

I love this rap. One of his better efforts.

thanks guys/girls!
legends!

i saw the leno performance and i thought he was freestyling the 2nd half
because he laughed as he said the line ..."now see, now see?".

then he followed with "...like me, like me"

then started going on about some i rock you 7 times, i rock you 7 times

i thought he was making that up on the spot because he couldnt think of anything haha silly me

sounds awesome though
i will buy it!
