tell my brother please not to look for me
I ain't the man that I used to be
but if my savior comes could you let him know
I've gone away for to save my soul

if you want to teach success,
(Aaah)
You dont use sympathy or tenderness.
Tenderness
You have to force the little squits to toe the line!

Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Black Betty had a child (Bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone wild (Bam-ba-lam)
She said, "I'm worryin' outta mind" (Bam-ba-lam)
The damn thing gone blind (Bam-ba-lam)
I said oh, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
She really gets me high (Bam-ba-lam)
You know that's no lie (Bam-ba-lam)
She's so rock steady (Bam-ba-lam)
And she's always ready (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Get it!
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
Whoa, Black Betty (Bam-ba-lam)
She's from Birmingham (Bam-ba-lam)

Something's going on, can I smell yo dick?
Don't play me like a fool, cause that ain't cool
So what you need to do is lemme smell yo dick"

Great show. I love the lyrics to "Naughty." The bridge is especially brilliant.

You can't reap what you don't sow.

- "Let it Grow" from The Lorax, which is trending on Tiktok for some reason!

Agree, perfect moment. Heartbreaker.

I just love seeing all the Bruce lyrics throughout this whole thread. There's no doubt he's the best song writer of the last 50 years.

While I love Bruce and think he's brilliant, I'm not sure that he's the undisputed best song writer of the last 50 years.

The last 50 years have had some incredible song writers in many genres including Paul Simon, Stephen Sondheim, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, John Lennon, Bob Dylan.

For me, I personally think that Paul Simon is the best songwriter of the last 50 years.
