17 Street |
| I’ve done a lot of travellin', seen a lot of pretty faces. |
| I’ve sung my way out blues songs in extraordinary places. |
| I come from 17th Street and that’s on the other side of town, |
| an' if you see me wit' my brothers |
| don’cha dare go no further |
| you know we gonna get down, down, down. |
| Some people think I’m crazy, they say gil, |
| «it mus' be in yo' mind."They tell me |
| «there jus' ain' no sane reazon the way |
| yawl get down ev’ry time.» |
| (I trytatellemthat): |
| «I come from 17th Street an' |
| that’s where the brothers don' mess around» |
| and if you lookin' for the music |
| an' we find out you can use it |
| you know we gonna get down, down, down. |
| If you lookin' for excitement you may need |
| only look next door |
| because the brothers from 17th Street |
| they don’t all live there anymore. |
| Some done moved to Harlem an' |
| Some moved way uptown, but if you |
| thinkin' bout the Spirit |
| an' you want to get near it |
| c’mon, c’mon an' get down, down, down. |
