📜 Lyrics

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
