Now, me and this friend named, Streetlife Brown We got a bottle of red and walked downtown One hand on the jug and one on time He said, "I bet you a dollar against this next line"
I said, "Dont let the sunshine fool ya Dont let the bluebirds tool ya Dont let the women do ya Put your hand in mine"
Oh, advice is fine if youve got a mind To listen to the end thats got the time But the musell get ya if you dont watch out Hes equipped to know what its all about
Dont let the sunshine fool ya Dont let the bluebirds tool ya Dont let the women do ya Put your hand in mine
Oh, Fanon street in the afternoon is An easy way to get out of tune But the hard soap salesman, he said, "No dice" When I asked politely for a better price
He said, "Dont let that sunshine fool ya Dont let the bluebirds tool ya Dont let the women do ya Put your hand in mine"
Well, heres a song for you, child of mine I hope you make it through this time Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie No reason in the world you cant get by
But dont let the sunshine fool ya And dont let the bluebirds tool ya And dont let the women do ya Put your hand in mine
Oh, dont let the sunshine fool ya Dont let the bluebirds tool ya Dont let the women do ya Put your hand in mine
