Lonnie Johnson - Crowing Rooster (1941) слова песни
What makes a rooster crow every mornin’ ‘fore day?
What makes a rooster crow every mornin’ ‘fore day?
To let the pimps know that the workin’ man is on his way!
We up before sunrise slavin’ sixteen hours a day.
We up before sunrise slavin’ sixteen hours a day.
We pay our house rent and grocery bill and the pimps get the
rest of our pay.
Men, we`ve got to get together, something`s got to be done.
We make the money, while the pimps really have the fun.
And while there`s only house rent and grocery bill, no “mon”, no fun.
Men, can`t you see, you can`t keep a whole woman by yourself.
Men, can`t you see, you can`t keep a whole woman by yourself.
If your best friend can`t get your woman, he`ll frame her for
somebody else.
Something about some women, that I never could understand.
Something about some women, that I never will understand.
They not satisfied with a good husband, they want some other woman`s man.
