Black Patch - Digitally Remastered 1997

People are you ready? (Ready, ready)
People are you tryin'?
Ready, ready (Ready)
Ready, ready (Ready)

Invitations to my party
Send Jones an inviting card
He got his mean streak from the gutter
Got his kindness from God

Tugboats paint the river
Carry coal to the city in white dock liners
Happiness on the uptown side at my party in the morning tide

Ooh, la, la, la, black patch
Ooh, la, la, la, black patch
Ooh, la, la, la, black patch
In a patch, in a patch

Clothespins on wash ropes
Window to window tie
Socks and bells and nightgowns
Tassels in the morning, tassels in the morning sky

People are you ready? (Ready, ready)
People are you tryin'?
Ready, ready (Ready)
Ready, ready (Ready)
Are you ready? (Are you ready? I'm ready)
I've been thinkin' of you

Woman child on the side street
Flashing in black patch
Lipstick on her reefer
Waiting for a match
