What are these lyrics in My Name is Prince

This has bugged me for years.
It starts off with

Prince and the New Power Generation
then Handclaps,
ah, ah for a bit
solo guitar
then I Wanna Be Ur Lover
but in the background there's a rap that says something like automatic Prince (???)

then eventually

Prince sings My Name is Prince

What are the words of the rap?

Any guesses? Does anyone know?

It's been a bit since I've listened to that song, but it's a mix of "I Wanna Be Your Lover" "Controversy" and a snippet of "I Wanna Melt With You". I'm sure there's someone arond here that will have the exact answer tho! lol

You are right, there's also Arsenio Hall doing the "Prince and the New Power Generation" line.

Little known fact...the Tony M. rap at the end of the song is actually longer than the entire "For You" album.
