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,? Don? t let the sunshine fool you And don? t let the bluebirds tool ya And don? t let the women do ya Put your hand in mine? Well, advice is fine if you? ve got a mind To listen to the end that? s got the time But the muse? ll get ya if you don? t look out 'Coz she? s equipped to know what it? s all about She said,? Don? t let the sunshine fool you And don? t let the bluebirds tool ya And don? t 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,? Don? t let the sunshine fool you And don? t let the bluebirds tool ya And don? t let the women do ya Put your hand in mine? So here? s 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 can? t get by, boy Don? t let the sunshine fool you And don? t let the bluebirds tool ya And don? t let the women do ya Put your hand in mine Don? t let the sunshine fool you And don? t let the bluebirds tool ya And don? t let the women do ya Put your hand in mine
