To Love The Language lyrics
To Love The Language lyrics
Yas
I is just what I was,
And am ain't who I be.
To love the language,
Ya got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi.
Ax' ya "x" what talks in tongues.
Say "never mo', neither me."
To love the language,
Ya got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi.
All right
Stayin' by my mama's
In slippers and pajamas
Where there's always somethin' good to eat.
Bettin' strawberries,
honey and cherries
And pecan pies, oh so sweet.
Mm
With a dew-rag on my brow,
Jasmine, wysteria and fleur-de-lis.
To love the language,
Ya got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi.
All right
[Instrumental jazz, piano featured]
Stayin' by my mama's
In slippers and pajamas
Where there's always somethin' good to eat.
Bettin' strawberries,
honey and cherries
And pecan pies, oh so sweet.
Mm
If you won't work for a livin',
And live life leisurely.
Pull up a screen po-ch,
Flop out in a rockin' chai'.
To love the language,
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi.
All right.
Eh eh
Come on
What'd I say?
Yay yay yay
Let's go
