Ram it, cram it, grand slam it, break up the concrete Prod it, sod it, metal rod it, break up the concrete Thwak it, crack it, line back it, break up the concrete Shake it, bake it, earthquake it, break up the concrete Break up the concrete, break up the concrete
And the depot over there, right next to the tracks That the slaves put down while breaking their backs But those Texas zoo, no one would ever get into a carriage Or anything that might lead to an interracial marriage
Ram it, cram it, grand slam it, break up the concrete Prod it, sod it, metal rod it, break up the concrete Thwak it, crack it, line back it, break up the concrete Shake it, bake it, earthquake it, break up the concrete Break up the concrete, break up the concrete

Ram it, cram it, grand slam it, break up the concrete Prod it, sod it, metal rod it, break up the concrete Shake it, bake it, earthquake it, break up the concrete Ram it, slam it, just cram it, break up the concrete
One more time Break up the concrete, break up the concrete Now he who laid it come back here and raid it Break up the concrete, break up the concrete Break up the concrete, break up the concrete Break up the concrete
