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
[- From: http://www.elyrics.net -]
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
