Salamaggi's Birthday
I know you didn't cut that ofay
It happened last month anyway
Just an excuse you to knew
Here's the deal
I've had my eyes on you
You just been walkin' a week or two
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the world smiles with you
What put you on the block anyway
A kid, big H or an old man
Probably all three
Here's the deal
Wouldn't be no news to me
Ain't nothin' under a rock I ain't seen
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the world smile with you
Don't play wide wet eyes on me
Cry and you cry alone
It's cool I'm a blood too
Nothin' gonna happen to you
At least nothin' new
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile if you know what's good for you
It's so to speak a little party
A little surprise for Sally
So, I'm takin' you in
So, to speak for a little questionin'
Collectin' a little dues
So, to speak police dues
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the world smiles with you
Ain't gonna pull no train on you
No freight train anyway
Maybe one or two after the surprise
He's first 'cause it's his party
First as far as they'll know anyway
Anyhow it look like rain tonight anyway
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile if you know what's good for you
Get down aand busy it wouldn't pay
For folks to see you cruising
My partners white but he's OK
Some of the guys wouldn't like it
My partner don't mind seconds
As long as she's a sister anyway
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the world smiles with you
You gonna straighten him
Don't let it slip at the station
Long as you sleep
Soon as you finish straightenin' me
You got peace on my beat
What they don't know don't hurt me
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile if you know what's good for you
All right now brown sugar
I'm changing places with Dave
Now just don't get impatient
Just one more little detour
Before we see the station
Dave's gonna question you now
Smile brown sugar, smile
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the word smiles with you
Us bloods gotta stick together
So, here's a tip for you
Always get questioned by young guys
Old ones can turn mean
'Specially if they can't and try
There's a lot of places for a Billy, you know
Even saw 'em fix a white girl
Even if she was a hippie
Smile brown sugar, smile
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile, if you know what's good for you
Smile
Smile
