Went down to Albert's Alley
Pick up on me a Collins mix Went to the bar an' ordered me a drink Tried to relax myself Looked around and saw two soul sisters They were sippin' sodas And the other look caught their companions On the dance floor They were doin' the Collin's shuffle Pretty soon a cute little number Came and asked me to do the stomp polka I told her I couldn't do the stomp polka I could show her how to do the Sissy We were on the dance floor And I was doin' my thing After a while out of nowhere Up walks her boyfriend While she's standin' there doin' the shivers and shake He gave me a look that was very icy blue And believe me, he made me thaw out! I said to myself, "Albert, don't lose your cool" By that time I'd gotten hungry 'Cause I smelled someone cookin' catfish Oughta be something along, with some greens Told him definitely, I didn't want no leftovers! The cook took so long about fixin' my grub I had to go see what was takin' him so long He was back there jivin' I had to tell him to get it together He asked me, "Can't you wait?" Made me mad, I said, "No man, I ain't got time, I've got to keep on pushin', I got to make it down the soul road, Got to go, do some turnin' on" Don't want person, give me no dyin' food So I'm leavin' town, goin' home I've got homesick anyway I'm leavin' this place before I freeze Goin' home to defrost Ain't gonna have me lookin' like a snow cone I don't know, he's gettin' rough! |

I remember when I was snowed in and up at old Shire town.
I'm sure the next tour take me right back through that town. Snow was up to your shoulders man and that ain't no lie. Chicago wasn't so cold, it would make a polar bear cry. Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called the hawk Now I'm gonna tell ya somethin' that'll make you, let out a squawk Now where I live the weather's mostly warm. We don't have to worry about no snow or if we have a storm. But Shire town sits on the shores of a lake, and when that hawk flaps his wings it make you shiver an' shake. Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called the hawk Man, I'm tellin' ya one thing, they just let out a squawk But man, you should a been there in the winter of '78. You couldn't catch a cab down on State and Lake. Now, you know that's bad 'cause, that's right in the heart of town. And it was so bad the mayor had to close the whole town down. Now when you hear the people talk about their bird called the hawk Oh man, I tell you, tell you, let out a squawk |

I always live by the, golden rule
Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool! You gotta have nerves of steel And never show folks how you, honestly feel I lived all my life this way, ha For example, take yesterday: I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay Her note read ...so long savvy, I haven't gone away! An' I threw myself down across our empty bed An' this is what I said: Ooo shhhhiiiii ooow ooow ooow What? Oh what are you gonna do with me? Ooo wow uh But I was cool! So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car The judge threw the book at me, An' when I read, the sentence there, I said: "Oow! Please oooow ooow, please I got to know, I got to know What? what went wrong? I don't underst... I oh a, But I was cool! So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank The shot whistled right past that woman's head An' I killed my hound dog, dead! Oooooow, ruff ruff, rrr, rrr, rrr, rur, rur, rur As they carried me away I was overheard to say, "Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!" |

I always live by the, golden rule
Whatever happens, ha, don't blow your cool! You gotta have nerves of steel And never show folks how you, honestly feel I lived all my life this way, ha For example, take yesterday: I breeze home happy bringin' her my pay Her note read ...so long savvy, I haven't gone away! An' I threw myself down across our empty bed An' this is what I said: Ooo shhhhiiiii ooow ooow ooow What? Oh what are you gonna do with me? Ooo wow uh But I was cool! So I "one for the roaded" at a all night bar I wound up so loaded, I tore up my car The judge threw the book at me, An' when I read, the sentence there, I said: "Oow! Please oooow ooow, please I got to know, I got to know What? what went wrong? I don't underst... I oh a, But I was cool! So I said she's the only one, that I have to pay And I found her an' pulled my gun, an' fired point blank The shot whistled right past that woman's head An' I killed my hound dog, dead! Oooooow, ruff ruff, rrr, rrr, rrr, rur, rur, rur As they carried me away I was overheard to say, "Be cool, be cool, stay cool, be cool!" |
