Congo Square |
| Sundays was better than other days |
| Mondays through Saturdays |
| Sundays we danced like there’s no tomorrow |
| Duke (Ellington) played piano in Storyville |
| We sang the Blues round midnight until… |
| The sun came up and we’d improvise |
| Congo Square on a dope patoi, Congo Square on a dope patoi |
| Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on Yeshua (Jesus) |
| Lester (Young) was there, so was Ms. Badu |
| Louie (Armstrong) played turmpet on West End Blues |
| Ain’t that Jill Scott with my sweet Aunt Nancy (Wilson) |
| Sassy (Sarah Vaughn) and Ella (Fitzgerald) start scattin' now |
| They start a frenzy there in the crowd |
| Sistahs has always been so resilient |
| Congo Square on a dope patoi, Congo Square on a dope patoi |
| Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on Yeshua (Jesus) |
| Ain’t no filet gumbo babe without the rue |
| Ain’t no joyous feelings without payin' dues |
| I’m gonna tie my pink bandana on |
| 'Cause what don’t kill me make me strong |
| Sing my Billie (Holiday) «Strange Fruit"song |
| And dig my roots up… Congo Square |
| (Dig this man) |
| Sundays was really the only days |
| That took the place of the lonely days |
| Sundays we looked to the new horizions |
| I see the light at the end of the tunnel sir |
| Jazz and Blues born of the slave gospel |
| Black angels pick the white fiels of cotton |
| Congo Square on a dope patoi, Congo Square on a dope patoi |
| Congo Square on a dope patoi, all eyes open on Yeshua (Jesus) |
| Ain’t no filet gumbo babe without the rue |
| Ain’t no joyous feelings without payin' dues |
| I’m gonna tie my pink bandana on |
| 'Cause what don’t kill me make me strong |
| Sing my Billie (Holiday) «Strange Fruit"song |
| And dig my roots up… Congo Square… Congo Square |
| Congo Square… Congo Square |
| (Party 'til the sun come up) |
| (Play that piano man) |
