Poppa's Blues - The Colored Music, Tune Robbers, The World-Band

Rocky I:

Hey, Poppa’s gonna sing!

Flat-Top:

That stuff is so out of date

Rocky I:

Cool it man.

Poppa’s gonna sing!

Rockies:

Poppa don’t sing often, but he do sing mean

Poppa:

Oh the first line of the blues

Is always sung a second time

Rockies:

Oh yeah?

Poppa:

First line of the blues

Is always sung a second time

Rockies:

Kinda smooth!

Poppa:

So by the time you get to the third line

You’ve had time to think up a rhyme

Oh there ain’t no law that says

The third line has to be different at all

No, no, there ain’t no law that says

The third line has to be different at all

No there ain’t no law that says

The third line has to be different at all

Never borrow a mouth organ

Not even from your best friend

No, no, no, never borrow a mouth organ

Not even from your best friend

'Cos you may survive the blowing

But the sucking’s gonna get you in the end

Oh yeah!
