Manny don't need no comforting
|
He don't ask of the world to bring him up
|
Ain't gonna see him waitin' on waitin' on
|
Waitin' on the day
|
Got him a chair in '73
|
It was his only option
|
So manny agreed
|
Same chair he has today
|
Since they threw the cane away
|
Manny wasn't doing nothing
|
He just doing his own thing
|
You know it getting pretty cold out
|
By the jub jub swing
|
|
Oh this friend today
|
Right me up
|
Oh this friend today
|
Right me up
|
I'm not so weak
|
|
Manny gonna go where the rabble go
|
He gonna roll down the world
|
And he bring me up
|
Ain't going to see him
|
Giving into the others way
|
Cause they may beat us in search
|
But our fall is unstained
|
You know he says it won't be long
|
Till we are up again
|
Having another swing
|
And manny wasn't doing nothing
|
He just doing his own thing
|
Yah know it gettin' pretty cold
|
But he the one who bring
|
|
Oh this friend today
|
Right me up
|
Oh this friend today
|
Right me up
|
I'm not so weak
|
|
'cause the bottles not empty
|
'cause your voices are all there
|
My life will fight in my body for air
|
'cause the bottle's not empty
|
'cause your voices are all there
|
My life will fight in my body for air
|
|
Oh this friend today
|
Right me up
|
Oh this friend today
|
Right me up
|
I'm not so weak
|
|
Manny we gonna get that a.m. dial just right
|
I'll hold that hanger up
|
As long as the sox put up a fight
|
