Brown moses: (singing)

Oh-oh! wait a minute!

What?



What wickedness Id dis?

De way yous carryin on!

Dis pygmy I be clutchin

Have been lef out on de lawn!



De daddy were ne-glij-ible,

De mama were de-flate-able,

De trauma to de imfunt

Be mostly not ne-gate-able



Yo urgin to be exitin

Because of dem fla-min-i-gos

Be thoroughly perplexin him

Because of where yo petuh goes



If only you been siderate

Erbout dis lil illiterate

I wouldna been trudgin cross de san

Fum way down yonder in e-gyp-lan



Dey callin me brown moses,

Fo dat Id sholy what I am,

Ancient an re-lij-er-mus

Solemn an pres-tig-i-mus

Wisdom reekin outa me

long wif summa dis baby pee

minds me of dem river weeds

n all dem ignint Bible deeds



Growed up in de pharaoh place,

Lef de sucker in disgrace!

Some dem boys refuse to loin

Somthin smokin: somthin boin!



Somethin borry: somethin blue!

Best keeps a lil paper

In yo shoe!

Hear me when is tellin you:

Leavin de midgit were

Wrong tdo!



Its a terrble thang, done did to him

Left wit de crab-grass

Over his chin!

Sholy one day he will grow,

n put some shit

In yo sack o woe



Ol brown moses now have spoke!

Could ya lends me bout a dollar?

Is a tiny bit broke



I likes my wine

I loves my gin

n fo a lil collateral,

Ill gives ya him!

A lil collateral,

Ill gives ya him!

A lil collateral,

Ill gives ya him!

I said a lil collateral,

A lil collateral,

A lil collateral,

A lil collateral,

A lil collateral,

Ill gives ya him!

Ill gives ya him!
