| All my life I been a po' boy,
|
| It’s been hard to get a dime
|
| Everythin' I got, umm, hmm
|
| I had to pay for it on time, but that’s all right
|
| Long as I got a toehold
|
| As long as I got a piece of you
|
| As long as I got a toehold,
|
| I can make it through.
|
| Now listen
|
| I said I went to my doctor,
|
| First thing he talked about is malnutrition
|
| I’m not tryin' to be a fatman,
|
| I’ve got to look after my ambition.
|
| Long as I got a toehold
|
| Long as I got a piece of you
|
| Long as I got a toehold,
|
| I can make it through.
|
| Oh, now give it to me baby
|
| A little little little little little little little little little toehold
|
| A little little little little little little little little little toehold
|
| Oh!
|
| So, baby!, if you’re with me,
|
| I’ll let the whole world be against me.
|
| I don’t expect to ever get rich,
|
| You may find me diggin' in a ditch.
|
| Long as I got a toehold
|
| Long as I got a piece of you
|
| Long as I got a toehold,
|
| I can make it through.
|
| Oh, give it to me baby
|
| A little little little little little little little little little toehold
|
| A little little little little little little little little little toehold
|
| Owwww!
|
| That’s all I want baby
|
| I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold
|
| I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold
|
| Owwww! |
