Yowzah |
| Well it wasn’t too very long ago you know some folks walked with a hi-dee-ho |
| And other folks walked around kind of low |
| Sayin' Yowzah and Sho nuff and Yassuh boss |
| It was ashes to ashes and dust to dust and they didn’t believe in makin' a fuss |
| So they quietly moved to the back of the bus |
| They just say Yowzah and Sho nuff and Yassuh boss |
| And when things got rough they did a little prayin' |
| Little arm wavin' and a little bit of swayin' |
| Didn’t do no good they kept right on a sayin' |
| Sayin' Yowzah and Sho nuff and Yassuh boss |
| So they all went out and did a little standin' little less askin' and a lot |
| more demandin' |
| Little less liftin' and a little less totin' a lot more thinkin' and a lot more |
| votin' |
| A lot less hopin' a lot less waitin' |
| A whole lot more demonstratin’a lot less pearly gate’n' |
| A lot more fightin' and a lot more walkin' until finally no one at all was |
| talkin' |
| Like Yowzah and Sho nuff and Yassuh boss |
| The end of this story is plain to see they finally achieved equality |
| And now like you and me they can stand up strong and free |
| And say Yes sir and Of course sir and Anything you say JB |
