Translation
Bilingual
Yeah! Yeah, yeah yeah
Cool it
Cool it man
Poppa gonna sing
Poppa don't sing often
But he do sing mean
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh the first line of a blues
Is always sung a second time
You hear me talkin', Rocky?
(I hear ya)
I said, the first line of a blues
Is always sung a second time
So by the time you get to the third line
You've had time to think of a rhyme
Oh, ain't no law that says
Third line's gotta be different at all
Oh, you're lookin' good, Rocky, you're lookin' good
I said there ain't no law that says
Third line's gotta be different at all
No there ain't no law that says
Third line's gotta be different at all
Oh
Never borrow no mouth organ
Not even from your best friend
You hear me talkin' to you?
Listen!
I said, never borrow no mouth organ
Not even from your best friend
'Cause you may survive the blowin'
But the suckin's gonna get you in the end
Oh, yeah!
Rusty, why you lookin' sad?
I got no hope
Whatcha mean?
I taught you all that I know
I know
You'll surprise 'em when it's your turn to go
No sir
I lost the coach I thought I had
What, Pearl?
Yeah, Pearl
I went and asked her for a date
She wouldn't play?
And the rest said no
I knew that they would
Oh no
We could find another
Yes sir, we could
No way
Poppa, listen, it's too late
Rusty, you ain't got no faith
I am a steamer
I was a champion once
You like the rest
You just blind
No, no I see good
I see without no coach
I got no chance in the race
Look behind you
What do you see?
Nothing but an old sleeping car
You got an alarm bell?
I do
Then ring it, boy
(Ring that bell!)
I can't pull that
It's peeling and, well, old
