| Ladies of Denver town, one and all gather 'round, we will take the gentlemen
|
| and dress them down
|
| Still up on these rooftops, I do my best to cross over
|
| At the six hundreds to the five hundred, the four hundred I might be one with
|
| them
|
| On the roof of the 404, this lady of Denver, is speaking sweeter than the lord,
|
| it makes this weak weak man makes me weep… oh man
|
| Then Nonny swings her head out he door, says 'don't you lake a flood on my roof,
|
| your floor. |
| You’ll never be as slim as slim, you ain’t actin' like a gentleman.
|
| Ladies of Denver town, one and all gather 'round, we will take the gentlemen
|
| and dress them down
|
| I have claimed your rooftops all for myself, but I see another up here (just
|
| like he said) creeping about
|
| I pitch dive and leap over to him and see it ain’t a gentleman (it's a woman),
|
| I ask, 'what you be doin' ripping up them roofs of my friends?' |
| she say,
|
| 'I'm taking up all these roofs so on us you can no longer look down.'
|
| Then with that shaker in her hand she swings it to bring me down
|
| I get a skin on skin hold to fight her sin, my friend’s roofs I will defend
|
| Then David, Frank Jr., JP, and Slim, shaking their heads witnessing my sin
|
| Saying, 'boy you got presumptive ways to walk our rooftops in defend,
|
| you’ve got one-eyed intentions, your timing was wrong, you’ll never be a
|
| gentleman.'
|
| You’re no gentleman
|
| I set myself to this- to fight a constant war- you claim it is holy- I claim
|
| that it’s the law |
