James Brown - Down And Out In New York City

James Brown

Down And Out In New York City

Say brother, can I borrow a thin brother
You know, a dime?
Say it, say it, say it sis
I'd sure like to have this little dime for me
So I can get this cup of coffee
Cop me a snack, somethin'
I guess I better quit tryin' to be hip and get on down
Yea man, like, you know

I was born in New York City on a Monday
It seems I was out shinin' shoes 'bout two to noon

All the fat cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor
Got the fat cats, in the bad hats laying it on real good
Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy

When the cold wind comes, it live at New York City
And the street's no place to be but there you are

So you try hard, or you die hard
No one really gives a good damn
You try hard, and you die hard
No one gives a damn

Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy

[Incomprehensible] in New York City
Ain't no way to be, but where can you go?
When you're down and out in New York City
I'm never, never, never gonna get that way again, ow

No, no, no
No, no, not me

When you need a friend [Incomprehensible]
When you want a friend

Gonna get myself together 'til the mornin'
Gonna leave it all and a one bad dream

All the fat cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor
Got the fat cats, in the bad hats, laying it on real good
Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy, wow, ow, yeah

Give me a shine boy

Mirror lyrics:

Give me a shine boy

Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy, wow, ow, yeah
Got the fat cats, in the bad hats, laying it on real good
All the fat cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor

Gonna leave it all and a one bad dream
Gonna get myself together 'til the mornin'

When you want a friend
When you need a friend [Incomprehensible]

No, no, not me
No, no, no

I'm never, never, never gonna get that way again, ow
When you're down and out in New York City
Ain't no way to be, but where can you go?
[Incomprehensible] in New York City

Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy

No one gives a damn
You try hard, and you die hard
No one really gives a good damn
So you try hard, or you die hard

And the street's no place to be but there you are
When the cold wind comes, it live at New York City

Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy
Got the fat cats, in the bad hats laying it on real good
All the fat cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor

It seems I was out shinin' shoes 'bout two to noon
I was born in New York City on a Monday

Yea man, like, you know
I guess I better quit tryin' to be hip and get on down
Cop me a snack, somethin'
So I can get this cup of coffee
I'd sure like to have this little dime for me
Say it, say it, say it sis
You know, a dime?
Say brother, can I borrow a thin brother
