Shang-A-Lang

Lyrics

[Intro: sample] (My God, it's full of stars) [Verse 1] Let's dig, let's jump Let's go down to the river and a-hum-ah hum-ah hump Your tail, tail wag Let's go down to the kennel and shal-ah shal-ah shag [Chorus] Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang [Verse 2] Your spit, my spine Gonna make me a-holler with a full bodied wine Don't bite, don't talk Let's go down to the sty and p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p [Chorus] Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang [Bridge] My heart nailed to your door in a gesture of desire Think I'll follow the path of the Gautama And set myself, set myself on fire [Verse 3] You got a match? Or gasoline? Why do you treat me so m-m-m-m-mean? You got a gun? Got a bullet? Got a finger on the trigger Gonna p-p-p-p-pull it Yeah! Take some of this! [Chorus] Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang [Bass solo: spoken sample] When all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" [Bridge] Good intentions paved the road to hell High ideals do the same Think I'll follow the path of the Gautama And set myself, set myself aflame [Outro] Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang, oh! Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang Shang-a-lang-dang-dang Shang-a-lang
