You Gotta Know |
I said «Please Mr. Bankman, I need 10 grand to buy me |
Back my car (Woah!) |
I can’t give you no cookie, but if you give me the cash |
I’ll buy you the whole jar» (Woah!) |
He scratched his head, clicked his pen and looked me up |
And down |
As he called for security he leaned towards me slowly |
With a frown |
And he said, «You gotta know to understand |
Baby take me by my hand |
I’ll lead you to the promised land |
You gotta know to understand» |
I was driving late at night with my best girlfriend |
Her name was Tracy Trump |
We took a left up at Norfolk and stopped the car after |
I hit a bump |
I said «Don't cry baby, we were going so fast it |
Probably didn’t feel one thing.» |
As we were laying it to rest, the dog jumped up and |
Started to sing |
«You gotta know to understand |
Baby take me by my hand |
I’ll lead you to the Promised Land |
You gotta know to understand» |
I went out for a walk, I was wondering why my life was |
Standing still |
I went up to see the wise man, his cave was on the top |
Of wise man hill |
When finally I got there I saw the old man, he was |
Standing on his head |
I said «tell me bout the birds and the bees and the |
Flowers and the trees and |
The moon up above and the thing called love»…he said |
«You gotta know to understand |
Baby take me by my hand |
I’ll lead you to the Promised Land |
You gotta know to understand.» |
«You gotta know to understand |
Baby take me by my hand |
I’ll lead you to the Promised Land |
You gotta know to understand.» |
