Lyrics
A great man once said to his people
Speak softly but carry a stick
I can take that stick
But that speak soft jive
I can't dig it
I can take candy from a baby
I can take money from a lady
Honey there ain't much I can't do
But I can't take you
Your mama said you can't say something nice
Say nothing at all
You ain't doing just that
But you're having a ball
(chorus)
I cruise on down the main line
See you standing by the corner light
I know this ain't a sane time
But I ain't going around picking no fight
Especially not with you
(chorus)
