Black Boys on The Corner — текст песни (Thin Lizzy)

One of the black boys said

"i need none of your pity"

Its your mama that dont

Like you loose in the city



But stick about, take note

Take a tip, take no back lip

Come come a little closer

Let me see you snap your fingertip



Because standing on the corner

Just might suit you or maybe baby

Theres something else you wanna do



Like rolling dice, nice

Like shooting pool, hey thats cool



Im a little black boy and I dont know my place

Im just a little black boy, I just threw my ace

Im a little black boy, recognize my face



One of the black boys said

"im a giving a warning"

"people been putting me down"

"im so tired Im yawning"



A new suit, pretty boots to boot

And Im feeling slick

Gonna go to town, look around

And pull a chick



Of course standing on the corner

Might suit you or maybe baby

Theres something else that you wanna do



Like playing poker, joker

Like to back a race, ace



Im a little black boy and I dont know my proper place

Im a little black boy, get my head in its space

Im a little black boy, I just play my bass

Im a little black boy, its no disgrace
