Dialog 2 (Live At Walled Lake Casino, Detroit, MI/1963) Lyrics
Oh yeah
(Oh yeah)
Oh yeah
(Oh yeah)
Oh yeah
(Oh yeah)
Yeah
My man
My man called up on the telephone long distance to Chicago
To borrow 15 dollars from his freeman
And his freeman answered the phone
And the operator said
Here′s your partner, mister
And he said say, baby
Loan me 15 dollars
And his partner said
What'd you say?
Said, loan me 15 dollars
He said, what?
Say again
Said loan me 15 dollars
He said
Man, look, I′m on the, something wrong
I can't hear you
And the operator broke in, she said
Well mister, the other line is very clear
She says, I'm able to hear him
So the other fellow said
Well, you loan it to him then
Hahaha (can I have a carrot?)
Any amount of carrot
Let′s start
Remind me
I mean, I was down south, yeah
Haha
I tell him that clear
My brother
Wrote me a letter from home
And he said
Dang, I think I got that letter ′cause I usually carry it with me
I know I usually always
Aw, heck
It must be on that other suit
Let me check
Aw, this is my other suit (hahaha)
Which one?
Somewhere here
Yeah, yeah
It must be in my wallet 'cause I know I keep it with me
I always have, yeah
I got it
Yeah, can you get it?
Yeah, yeah, it is
′Cause I know
Yeah, that's what it was
Says, uh
Says, uh
Yeah, yeah, it is
You have to use the material that you have
You know, when you
Yeah, haha
When you adlib and you know
Yeah
Well, here′s the letter
Yeah, says uh
Dear
Dear Ch-, look how he spelled my name
C-H-U-M-P
That ain't the way to spell my name
Hahaha
Say we have been having a little
Hardship down here lately
I know that′s the truth (hahaha)
Said the bathroom caught on a fire
But we were lucky that the flames did not reach the house
Hahaha
Oh, yeah
That's right
They have a segregated bill down there, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, it said
It said, you-your sister slipped on a banana peel
And she-she sued the police department
Said the accident occured just as they
She was stepping in the patrol wagon
Bet your brother had a 1963 catalog (oh)
And it only cost him 20 years
Say, yo
Oh by the way, your mother-in-law died
Oh, how my heart did yearn
I know she's up in heaven
′Cause she too darn tough to burn
Betcha all next the little couple next door have a bossing baby boy
The child was born with callouses on his hands
He was trying to hold on until after the wedding
This whole years
I would have sent you the 15 dollars you asked me for
But I sealed the letter before I thought about it
Oh, by the way
Uncle Benjamin married a 19 year old girl
Three weeks later, he died
Said it took the undertaker three days to get the smile off his face
