Me & this friend Streetlife Brown
|
We got a bottle of red and walked downtown
|
One hand on the jug and one on time
|
He said I bet you a dollar against this next line
|
|
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
|
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
|
Don't let the women do ya
|
Put your hand in mine
|
|
Advice is fine if you've got a mind
|
To listen to the end that's got the time
|
But the muse'll get ya if you don't watch out
|
He's equipped to know what it's all about
|
|
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
|
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
|
Don't let the women do ya
|
Put your hand in mine
|
|
Fannin Street in the afternoon
|
An easy way to get out of tune
|
But the hard soap salesman said no dice
|
When I asked politely for a better price
|
|
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
|
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
|
Don't let the women do ya
|
Put your hand in mine
|
|
Here's a song for you child of mine
|
I hope you make it through this time
|
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie
|
No reason in the world you can't get by
|
|
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
|
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
|
Don't let the women do ya
|
Put your hand in mine
|
|
Don't let the sunshine fool ya
|
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
|
Don't let the women do ya
|
Put your hand in mine
|
