When I first came to town people |
|
I was walkin ' down |
|
Pennsylvania |
|
Avenue.I heard a lot people talking 'bout the |
|
White House. |
|
I decided |
|
I'd drop in there that night. |
|
And when I got there |
|
I said man what's shakin'. |
|
They said look man you can't come in here this where the |
|
President hang out. |
|
What you want. |
|
I said look man, |
|
I'm John Lee |
|
Hooker, I sing the blues. |
|
They said the |
|
President don't have time for the blues. |
|
I said look man everybody got to have the blues sometime don't matter where you from or where you at. |
|
I decided to make a run for |
|
President. |
|
I know everyone got the blues cause |
|
I'm in touch wilt 'em when |
|
I sing the blues it's my life. |
|
I got the number one record in |
|
Detroit. He's called |
|
Boom Boom. |
|
It tells a tremendous story these lyrics are something else. |
|
Every time you hear |
|
Boom Boom, that's a dollar change. |
|
I don't need yo money cause |
|
I finance my own campaign. |
|
I ain't for sale. |
|
I keep a fat bankroll in my pocket baby, big as a hay bale. |
|
I want everybody to know |
|
I'm strictly copastatic, |
|
I ain't Republican or |
|
Democratic. |
|
I got a new program for the nation. |
|
It's gonna be groove time, a big sensation. |
|
Every man and woman gets one scotch, one bourbon and one beer, three times a day if they stay cool. |
|
Little chillens gets milk, cream and alcohol, two times a day if they stay involved in school. |
|
Now boogie chillen. |
|
Now I want nine fine lookin' womens sittin' on the |
|
Supreme Court. |
|
Their big legs, their tight skirts drive me out of my mind. |
|
And when I need a judgment they gonna give it to me right on time. |
|
They call me on the phone sayin', |
|
Johnny, we disagree on which one of us you like best. |
|
I said honey, you all equally fine under the law. |
|
I'm sharp and up to date. |
|
Jimmy Reed, |
|
Vice President, |
|
Little Johnny |
|
Taylor, Secretary of |
|
State. I got the foreign policy numbers 444, domestic spending goin' up, continental clothes, |
|
Stetson hats, everybody's on the dance floor |
|
All you backbilers and syndicators, hear what |
|
I say. I ain't gonna stand for |
|
No trash talking and double dealin' . |
|
IfI catch you messin' 'round the |
|
White House |
|
I might cut you, |
|
I might shoot you, |
|
I just don't know. |
|
And there's one point |
|
I really want to prove. |
|
If you vote for |
|
John Lee Hooker you know you gonna groove. |
|
Don't be fooled by the |
|
Republican, don't pity the |
|
Democratie, vote |
|
John Lee Hooker and everything gone be mellow, knocked out, copastatic. |
