Me and a friend name a Streetlife Brown
We got a bottle of red and we walked uptown
One hand on a jug and one on time
And he bet me a dollar against this next line
He said, Dont let the sunshine fool you
And dont let the bluebirds tool ya
And dont let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
Well, advice is fine if youve got a mind
To listen to the end thats got the time
But the musell get ya if you dont look out
'Coz shes equipped to know what its all about
She said, Dont let the sunshine fool you
And dont let the bluebirds tool ya
And dont let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
Fanon Street on an afternoon
Such an easy way to get it to
But the hard soap salesman said no dice
When I asked politely for a better price
He said, Dont let the sunshine fool you
And dont let the bluebirds tool ya
And dont let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
So heres a song for you, child of mine
And I hope you make it through this time
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie
Ain't no reason in the world you cant get by, boy
Dont let the sunshine fool you
And dont let the bluebirds tool ya
And dont let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
Dont let the sunshine fool you
And dont let the bluebirds tool ya
And dont let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
