Whoa, are we moving too slow?
Have you seen us, uncle remus?
We look pretty sharp in these clothes
(yes, we do)
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
It ain´t bad in the day
If they squirt it your way
´cept in the wintah, when it´s froze
And it´s hard if it hits, on your nose
(on your nose)

Just keep your nose
To the grindstone they say
Will that redeem us, uncle reemus?
I can´t wait til mah ´fro is full grown
I´ll just throw away my doo-rag at home

I´ll take a drive to
Beverly hills
Just before dawn
And knock the little jockeys
Off the rich peoples lawn
And before they get up
I´ll be gone
(i´ll be gone)
Before they get up
I´ll be knockin´ the jockeys off the lawn
(down in the dew)
