Small Fred - Talking Wheelchair Blues слова песни




I went for a jog in the city airI met a woman in a wheelchairI said "I`m sorry to see you`re handicapped."She says "What makes you think a thing like that?"And she looks at me real steadyAnd she says, "You want to drag?"So she starts to roll and I start to runAnd she beat the pants off my aching bunsYou know going uphill I`d hit my strideBut coming down she`d sail on by!When I finally caught up with herShe says "Not bad for somebody ablebodied.You know, with adequate care and supervisionYou could be taught simple tasks.So how about something to eat?"I said that`d suit me fine"We`re near a favorite place of mine."So we mosied on over thereBut the only way in was up a flight of stairs."Gee, I never noticed that," says I."No problem," the maitre d` replies."There`s a service elevator around the back."So we made it upstairs on the elevatorWith the garbage, flies, and last week`s potatoesI said "I`d like a table for my friend and me."He says "I`ll try to find one out of the way."Then he whispers, "Uh, is she gonna be sick,I mean, pee on the floor or throw some kind of fit?"I said "No, I don`t think so,I think she once had polio.But that was twenty years ago.You see, the fact of the matter is,If the truth be told,She can`t walk.So he points to a table, she wheels her chairSome people look down and others stareAnd a mother grabs her little girlSays "Keep away, honey, that woman`s ill."We felt right welcome.Then a fella walks up and starts to babbleAbout the devil and the holy bibleSays "Woman, though marked with flesh`s sin,Pray to Jesus, you`ll walk again!"Then the waiter says "What can I get for you?"I said "I`ll have your best imported brew."And he says "What about her?"I say "Who?" He says "Her.""Oh, you mean my friend here."He says "Yeah." I say "What about her?""Well, what does she want?""Well, why don`t you ask her?"Then he apologizes.Says he never waited on a cripple before.We immediately nominated him for Secretary of the Interior.Well, she talked to the manager when we were throughShe says "There`re some things you could doTo make it easier for folks in wheelchairs."He says "Oh, it`s not necessary.Handicapped never come here anyway."Well, I said goodnight to my newfound friendI said, "I`m beginning to understandA little bit of how it feelsTo roll through life on a set of wheels."She says "Don`t feel sorry, don`t feel sad,I take the good along with the badI was arrested once at a protest demoAnd the police had to let me go.See, we were protesting the factThat public buildings weren`t wheelchair accessible.Turned out the jail was the same way.Anyway, I look at it this way--In fifty years you`ll be in worse shape than I am now.See, we`re all the same, this human race.Some of us are called disabled. And the rest--Well, the rest of you are just temporarily able-bodied."
