Get Down

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Please stop all of this bull crap
The sheep find pasture here
And they don’t want to eat your crap
Its always filled with fear
They listen and they here you
But they just don’t understand
The way you speak confuses them
And they just think oh man
Oh baby, here we go again
Another round of lies
And all the gossips drink them up
That’s why you always buy
You hope they won’t condemn ewe
If you get them drunk enough
But I don’t think you thought it through
God is good, but life is tough
Turn!
