Songtexte

So honesty ought to be the best of policy, as I would say
The more you give, the more you receive, as I would tell you
The more work you do, so I and I should know
The more pay you should get, as I would tell you
Go help the weak if you are strong
Brother, hold your fort if you are wrong, as I would really beg you
You got to help the old if you are young
So the good God got to see what you do
Tell you 'bout the thing in a the swing
Tell you 'bout the thing weh make you swing
Tell you of the ring gone swing
Tell you 'bout the swing in other thing *Scatting*
So you got to keep on rocking and swing
And come on, sing a down, a sing a song, you got to sing a song
A so a song, you got to play your song
Brother, so that you could never be wrong, when I would really say
Oh baby, come on down with me, as I would really-really beg you
Goodness gracious, good gosh, say what you really-really say
As I would got to tell you 'bout a thing a call the slave
Slavery got to abolish long ago
Go see now brother got to give you work to do
You work so hard until you don't get no pay
But still you do not care what the world may ever say
You got to work for a honest bread in this day, as I would say
*Scatting*
Wow, baby, keep on rocking and swing
And, baby, let me tell you about a thing-
Uh-huh, yeah, tra-la-la-la-la-la dey
