96 degrees

In the shade

Real hot here me way are see

In the shade

Said it was 96 degrees in the shade

Ten thousand soldiers on parade

Taking I and I to meet a big fat boy

Sent from overseas

The queen employ

Excellency before you I come

With my representation

You know where I'm coming from

You caught me on the loose

Fighting to be free

In the show I in noose

On the cotton tree

Entertainment for you

Martyrdom for me

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot here me way are see

In the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot here me way are see

In the shade

Some may suffer some may burn

But I know that one day my people will learn

Sure as the sun shines way up in the sky

Today I stand here a victim the truth is I'll never die

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot here me way are see

In the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot here me way are see

In the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot here me way are see

In the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot in the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot in the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot here me way are see

In the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot here me way are see

In the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot in the shade

96 degrees in the shade

Real hot in the shade
