Bye Bye Blackbird

歌詞

One of the black boys said "I need none of your pity" It's your mama that don't Like you loose in the city But stick about, take note Take a tip, take no back lip Come come a little closer Let me see you snap your fingertip Because standing on the corner Just might suit you or maybe baby There's something else you wanna do Like rolling dice, nice Like shooting pool, hey that's cool I'm a little black boy and I don't know my place I'm just a little black boy, I just threw my ace I'm a little black boy, recognize my face One of the black boys said "I'm a giving a warning" "People been putting me down" "I'm so tired I'm yawning" A new suit, pretty boots to boot And I'm feeling slick Gonna go to town, look around And pull a chick Of course standing on the corner Might suit you or maybe baby There's something else that you wanna do Like playing poker, joker Like to back a race, ace I'm a little black boy and I don't know my proper place I'm a little black boy, get my head in its space I'm a little black boy, I just play my bass I'm a little black boy, it's no disgrace
