Say Man lyrics


(Ellas McDaniel) 1959

(Alternate lines spoken by BO DIDDLEY and Jerome Green):
Say man,
What s that boy?
I want to tell you bout your girlfriend,
What about my girl?
Well, you don t look strong enough to take the message,
I m strong enough,
I might hurt your feelings,
My feelings are already hurt by being here with you,
Well, I was walking down the street with your girl the other day,
Ah-ha,
And the wind was blowin real hard,
Is that right?
And the wind blew her hair into my face,
Ah-ha,
You know what else happened?
What happened?
The wind blew her hair into her face,
Yeh?
And we went a little further; you wanna hear the rest of it?
I might as well,
The wind blew her hair into the street!
Ok; since you told me about my girl, I m gonna tell you about yours. I was walking down the street with your girl,
Yes?
I took her home, for a drink, you know,
Took her home?
Yeh, jus for a drink,
Oh,
But that chick looked so ugly, she had to sneak up on the glass to get a drink of water!
You ve got the nerve to call somebody ugly; why you so ugly the stork that brought you in the world oughta be arrested!
That s alright; my momma didn t have to put a sheet on my head so sleep could slip up on me!
Look-a here!
What s that?
Where are you from?
South America,
What s that?
South America,
You don t look like no South American to me,
I m still from South America,
What part?
South Texas!
Where are your workin boots at?
I ve got em on,
Those aren t no boots you got on; those broguettes!
Hey, look-a here!
What s that?
I ve bin tryin to figure out what you is,
I already figured out what YOU is!
What s that?
You that thing I throw peanuts at!
Look-a here!
What s that?
You should be ashamed of yourself,
Why?
Calling people ugly,
I didn t call you ugly,
What you say?
I said you was ruined, that s all!
You know somethin ?
What?
You look like you ve bin whooped with a ugly-stick!
Hey! I ain t got nothin to do with it, but I beat the fellah right...!
