Whoa, are we moving too slow? Have you seen us, Uncle Remus? We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do) Unless we get sprayed with a hose It ain't bad in the day If they squirt it your way 'cept in the wintah, when it's froze And it's hard if it hits, on your nose (on your nose) Just keep your nose To the grindstone they say Will that redeem us, uncle reemus? I can't wait til mah 'fro is full grown I'll just throw away my doo-rag at home I'll take a drive to Beverly hills Just before dawn And knock the little jockeys Off the rich peoples lawn And before they get up I'll be gone (I'll be gone) Before they get up I'll be knockin' the jockeys off the lawn (down in the dew)
