The Capt'n Reverend Rabbi Fatback and the Bluegrass ButtBelly Boys - Lyrics

"New York Jam"
words & music by Virgil L. Byrd

Took a little walk in the early mornin’
Out on a Sunny Side street headed for the Q.B.P.
So where do You go when You need a place to save Your Soul
It just blow my Mind when Kiersten took me by the hand and said

Honey You Must Understand- It’s a Hell of a Scam
Designed to keep You Thinkin’ like a One Man Band
In the midst of this New York Jam. She said “Break It Down”

So where does this lil’ girl from the corner of Avon Road and FlatBush
come off sayin’ things like this.

Then I walked a little more up and down this New York Town
I saw all those beautiful people over there just sleepin’ on the ground
It`s so hard to find a fuckin’ Friend in this Halloween Town
Then Kiertsen took me by the hand and said
Honey You Must Understand-It’s a Hell of a Scam
Designed to keep You Thinkin’ like a One Man Band
In the midst of this New York Jam.
Like an Uprising at Mazar-e Sharif-To the Last Lovin’ Samich
For Warren Zevon -
It’s “The Capt’n Rev. Rabbi Fatback & the Bluegrass ButtBelly Boys”
