the chad mitchell trio - yowzah lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
now, it wasn’t too very long ago
you know, some folks walked with a hi+dee+ho
and other folks walked around kind of low

[chorus]
sayin’, “yowzah”
“sho’ ’nuff”
and “yassuh, boss”

[verse 2]
it was ashes to ashes, dust to dust
they didn’t believe in makin’ no fuss
just kept on movin’ to the back of the bus

[chorus]
sayin’, “yowzah”
and “sho’ ’nuff”
and “yassuh, boss”

[verse 3]
yeah, they perspired, they expired
still, they never got no higher
as a matter of fact they got sort of tired

[chorus]
of sayin’, “yowzah”
and “sho’ ’nuff”
and “yassuh, boss”
[verse 4]
so they went right out, and they done a little prayin’
a little arm wavin’ and a little bit of swayin’
still in all they kept right on sayin’

[chorus]
“yowzah”
and “sho’ ’nuff”
and “yassuh, boss”

[verse 5]
they were still shinin’ shoes, still fryin’ chicken
still washin’ floors, watermelon pickin’
’til finally they got d+mn sick of sayin’

[chorus]
“yowzah”
and “sho’ ’nuff”
and “yassuh, boss”

[verse 6]
so they went out, and they done a little standin’
a little less askin’, a lot more demandin’
a little more thinkin’ and demonstratin’
and a little less hopin’ and a little waitin’
[verse 7]
yeah, a little less liftin’ and a little less totin’
and a lot more writin’ and a lot more votin’
a lot more marchin’ and a lot more walkin’
’til hardly anybody at all was talkin’

[chorus]
like “yowzah”
and “sho’ ’nuff”
and “yassuh, boss”

[verse 8]
now, the moral of my story is plain to see
they finally achieved equality
now, like you and me they stand up strong and free

[chorus]
and say, “yes, sir”
“uh, buh, buh, wah, wah, well, of course, sir”
“eh, eh, anything you say, jb”
