Stick it up, mister!
Hear what I say, sir, yeah...
Get your hands in the air, sir!
And you will get no hurt, mister, no no no
I said yeah
What did I say?
Don't you hear? I said yeah (yeah yeah)
Listen to what I say (what I say)
Do you believe I would take something with me
And give it to the police man?

And if I do that, I would say "sir, put the charge on me"

Beautiful Woman


Yeah she's such a beautiful woman
And she has so many ugly men
And when she goes to the market place
She'd leave all character at home.
And she walks like a lady,
Acts like a lady, don't ask me why
And when she starts her conversation
Everyone of her friends would cry of shame


(sing along)
Beautiful woman, beautiful woman, beautiful woman
Will drive you crazy

Look here! Here come Billy
And he's one of her ugly men
He says 'hello friend'
Then I began to tell the story
About this beautiful woman that I have seen
Then Billy turns to me and says:
'Looks like ev'ry woman is the same'
Then I shake my head and say:
'No Billy, let me tell you, I can't believe
ev'ry woman could be the same'

-chorus-

Look here! Here comes good ole Sam
Comes to town, meets this girl, falls in love
And the girl keep driving him crazy
She just actin' like a lady for a short while
And she walks like a lady, acts like a lady
Don't ask me why
But I know that when she gets warmed up,
Then she gets started
Then she gets crazy
She'll take off every piece of her clothes in the street
(sing along) chorus....

And then we would sit and talk
In the morning, we'll have new starts
And in the day, we would break those hearts

Why you treat me in such funny ways? (funny ways)(x2)

In a sir you will find
A little piece of mind all the time
If you look over and under there
You will see that love don't have no fear

Listen
Got a feeling deep down inside of me
All I know there is one heaven (????) I know there will be a way for me and you
I want to live in a unity
Let us sleep in unity
You will feel the hot marked spear
Almost everyone is living in fear

If you look over and under there
You will see that love don't have no fear
Don't you say you are a Christian
Why don't you pray for the ??man
stop the ways of

Revolution (x2)

Especially you're going like your hairy man
I know no one in this world will do
cuz, just because I have you my love
