Texty

[Verse 1]
When I was born, they christened me
Plain 'Samuel Johnson Brown'
But I hadn't grown so very big
'Fore some folks in this town
Had changed it 'round to 'Sambo'
I was 'Rastus' to a few
Then 'Chocolate Drop' was added
By some others that I knew
[Verse 2]
And then, to cap the climax
I was strolling down the line
When someone shouted, "Fellas, hey!
Come on and pipe the shine!"
But I don't care a bit
Here's how I figure it
[Verse 3]
Well, just because my hair is curly
And just because my teeth are pearly
Just because I always wear a smile
Likes to dress up in the latest style
[Verse 4]
Just because I'm glad I'm living
Take trouble smiling, never whine
Just because my color's shady
Slightly different, maybe
That's why they call me 'Shine'
[Verse 5]
I say just because (Just because)
My hair is curly (A-look at them curls curl)
And just because (Just because)
My teeth are pearly (A-roo-da-bee-bop, ba-ba-ba-bow)
And just because I always wear a smile
Wear my jeans like a man of means
(He always dresses in the latest style)
[Verse 6]
I say just because (Just because)
I'm glad I'm living (A-boogylee-doo-doo, a-boogylee-doo-doo)
Take trouble smiling, never whine
Just because my color's shady
Slightly different, maybe
That's why they call me 'Shine'
