Green Onions |
All right people, the rest of the hard working |
All star blues brothers are gonna be out here in a minute |
Including my little brother Jake |
But right now, I'd like to talk a little bit about thi |
E you're hearing this is of course the green onions tune |
It was a very big hit in the early sixties in this country |
And of course it was composed and recorded in |
Memphis, Tennessee, right here |
E, United States Of America, you know people |
I believe that this tune can be acquainted |
With the great classical music around the world |
Now you go to Germany, you've got your bach |
Your Beethoven, your Brahms |
Here in America you've got your Fred McDowell |
Your Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller and your Booker T & The M.G.'s |
Ple, another example of the great contributions |
In music and culture that this country |
Has made around the world and as you look around |
The world today, you see this country spurned |
You see backs turned on this country |
Well people, I'm gonna tell you something |
This continent, North America is the stronghold |
This is where we're gonna make our stand in this decade, yeah |
E, I've got something to say to the state department |
I say take that archaic Monroe doctrine |
And that Marshall plan that says we're supposed |
To police force the world and throw 'em out, let's |
Home for the next ten years people |
Right here in North America |
And enjoy the music and culture that is ours |
Yeah, I got one more thing to say |
I'm just talking about the music, people and what it does to me |
And that is as you look around the world |
You go to the Soviet Union or Great Britain |
Or France, you name it any country, ev |
Dy is doing flips and twists just to get into |
A genuine pair of American blue jeans |
And to hear this music and we got it all here in America |
The land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine |
