Lyrics for Brown Moses

Oh-oh! Wait a minute! What? What wickedness is dis? De way you's 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-go's 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 sho'ly 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 I's tellin' you: Leavin' de midgit were WRONG T'DO! It's a terr'ble thang, done did to him Left wit de crab-grass Over his chin! Sho'ly 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? I's a tiny bit broke I likes my wine I loves my gin 'N fo a lil' collateral, I'll gives ya HIM! A lil' collateral, I'll gives ya HIM! A lil' collateral, I'll gives ya HIM! I said a lil' collateral, A lil' collateral, A lil' collateral, A lil' collateral, A lil' collateral, I'll gives ya HIM! I'll gives ya HIM!
