Garland Jeffreys Cool Down Boy Lyrics

Oh little Willie John
He's been up all night
He's got his rockin' shoes on
Until broad daylight
He's been raisin' cane
With the pretty girls uptown
They've been raisin' cane
Unto the rock ‘n' roll sound

So cool down boy, cool down
Cool down boy
Everybody say, cool down
Cool down boy

Here comes the sun
There go the night
And like a silent gun
Oh out goes the streetlight
But no love is lost
Between the black and white
We got rock an' roll music
No sign of a streetfight

So cool down boy, cool down
Cool down boy
Everybody say, cool down boy
Cool down
Cool down boy
All the people say, cool down boy Cool down
Cool down boy
Everybody gonna, cool down boy
Cool down
Cool down boy

Cool down boy
I say cool down boy
Cool down boy
That's what my father he tell me
Most every night
Cool down boy
That's what my mother she tell me
Most everyday
Cool down boy
That's what the teachers in school
They tell me they say
Cool down boy
Just when I wanna have my fun
They say
Cool down boy
I hear the same ugly words
From everyone
Cool down boy
Ever since I was five years old
They say
Cool down boy
Ever since I was six years old
They say
Cool down boy
