BROWN MOSES: (singing) 

Oh-oh! Wait a minute! 

What? 

What wickedness id dis? 

De way you's carryin' on! 

Dis pygmy I be clutchin' 

Have been lef' out on de lawn! 

De daddy were ne-GLIJ-ible, 

De mama were de-FLATE-able, 

De trauma to de imfunt 

Be mostly not ne-GATE-able 

Yo' urgin' to be exitin' 

Because of dem fla-min-i-go's 

Be thoroughly perplexin' him 

Because of where yo' petuh goes 

Photos 

If only you been 'siderate 

Erbout dis lil' illiterate 

I wouldna been trudgin' cross de san' 

Fum way down yonder in E-gyp-lan' 

Dey callin' me BROWN MOSES, 

Fo' dat id sho'ly what I am, 

Ancient an' re-lij-er-mus 

Solemn an' pres-tig-i-mus 

Wisdom reekin' outa me 

'Long wif summa dis baby pee 

'Minds me of dem River Weeds 

'N all dem ignint Bible deeds 

Growed up in de Pharaoh place, 

Lef' de sucker in disgrace! 

Some dem boys refuse to loin 

Somthin' smokin': Somthin' boin! 

Somethin' borry: Somethin' blue! 

Best keeps a lil' paper 

In yo shoe! 

Hear me when I's tellin' you: 

Leavin' de midgit were 

WRONG T'DO! 

It's a terr'ble thang, done did to him 

Left wit de crab-grass 

Over his chin! 

Sho'ly one day he will grow, 

'N put some shit 

In yo' sack o' woe 

OL' BROWN MOSES now have spoke! 

Could ya lends me 'bout a dollar? 

I's a tiny bit broke 

I likes my wine 

I loves my gin 

'N fo a lil' collateral, 

I'll gives ya HIM! 

A lil' collateral, 

I'll gives ya HIM! 

A lil' collateral, 

I'll gives ya HIM! 

I said a lil' collateral, 

A lil' collateral, 

A lil' collateral, 

A lil' collateral, 

A lil' collateral, 

I'll gives ya HIM! 

I'll gives ya HIM!
