Me & this friend 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

Don't let the sunshine fool ya

Don't let the bluebirds tool ya

Don't let the women do ya

Put your hand in mine

Advice is fine if you've got a mind

To listen to the end that's got the time

But the muse'll get ya if you don't watch out

He's equipped to know what it's all about

Don't let the sunshine fool ya

Don't let the bluebirds tool ya

Don't let the women do ya

Put your hand in mine

Fannin street in the afternoon

An easy way to get out of tune

But the hard soap salesman said no dice

When I asked politely for a better price

Don't let the sunshine fool ya

Don't let the bluebirds tool ya

Don't let the women do ya

Put your hand in mine

Here's 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 can't get by

Don't let the sunshine fool ya

Don't let the bluebirds tool ya

Don't let the women do ya

Put your hand in mine

Don't let the sunshine fool ya

Don't let the bluebirds tool ya

Don't let the women do ya

Put your hand in mine

Don't let the sunshine fool ya
