Don't Let the Sunshine Fool You

Me and my friend named Streetlife Brown
Got a bottle of red, headed uptown
One hand on the jug and one on time
Bet you a dollar against this next line

Said, "Don't let the sunshine fool you
Don't let the bluebirds tool you
Don't let the women do you
Put your hand in mine"

Advice was fine if you've got a mind
To listen to them is to got the time
The muse'll get you if you don't watch out
He's equipped to know what it's all about

Said, "Don't let the sunshine fool you
Don't let the bluebirds tool you
Don't let the women do you
Put your hand in mine"

Oh, Fanon street in the afternoon
Is an easy way to get a tune
But the hard soap salesman said, "No dice"
I asked politely for a better price

Said, "Don't let the sunshine fool you
Don't let the bluebirds tool you
Don't let the women do you
Put your hand in mine"

Here's a song for you, child of mine
Hope you make it through, this time
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie
Ain't no reason in the world you can't get by

And don't let the sunshine fool you
Don't let the bluebirds tool you
Don't let the women do you
Put your hand in mine

Don't let the sunshine fool you
Don't let the bluebirds tool you
Don't let the women do you
Put your hand in mine
