[go on sister sing your song]


go on sister sing your song
lady redbone señora rubia
took all day long
shampooing her nubia


she gets to the getting place
without or with him
must I holler when
you're giving me rhythm


members don't get weary
add some practice to your theory
she wants to know is it a men thing
or a him thing


wishing him luck
she gave him lemons to suck
told him please dear
improve your embouchure
