Poppa's Blues

Rocky I:
Hey, Poppa’s gonna sing!
Flat-Top:
That stuff is so out of date
Rocky I:
Cool it man.
Poppa’s gonna sing!
Rockies:
Poppa don’t sing often, but he do sing mean
Poppa:
Oh the first line of the blues
Is always sung a second time
Rockies:
Oh yeah?
Poppa:
First line of the blues
Is always sung a second time
Rockies:
Kinda smooth!
Poppa:
So by the time you get to the third line
You’ve had time to think up a rhyme
Oh there ain’t no law that says
The third line has to be different at all
No, no, there ain’t no law that says
The third line has to be different at all
No there ain’t no law that says
The third line has to be different at all
Never borrow a mouth organ
Not even from your best friend
No, no, no, never borrow a mouth organ
Not even from your best friend
'Cos you may survive the blowing
But the sucking’s gonna get you in the end
Oh yeah!
