lyrics
They say, he got crow in his blood
They say, he got crow in his blood
They say, he got crow in his blood
Have you ever heard a doggie bark bow, wow, wow,
have you ever heard a baby cry boo, hoo hoo?
Have you ever seen a fox go trot, trot, trot,
have you ever seen a rabbit hippity hop, hop, hop ?
Have you ever heard a gun go pow, pow, pow,
Then why in the hell are you here for?
Have you ever, seen,
have you ever dreamed?
Gonna have to show you what you never seen and more,
before your work makes you poor,
your feet become sore, and you just can’t take no more
Have you ever, ever seen,
have you ever dreamed,
tell me then why in the hell are you for?
You run for the door; you say what’s it for
Then suddenly you feel that you might need more
Yo bust it
Have you ever seen the core of an Eeyore
Have ever seen the shore, on a sea tour (those hammer head sharks might bite your ass)
Have you ever, ever heard a lion roar,(in the jungle, the funky funky jungle)
Then why are you here for?
THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS A FUNKY PLACE!
Have you ever heard a doggie bark bow, wow, wow,
have you ever heard a baby cry boo, hoo hoo?
Have you ever seen a fox go trot, trot, trot,
have you ever seen a rabbit hippity hop, hop, hop ?
Have you ever heard a gun go pow, pow, pow, pow,
Then why in the hell are you here for?
Have you ever heard a doggie bark bow, wow, wow,
have you ever heard a baby cry boo, hoo hoo?
Have you ever seen a fox go trot, trot, trot,
have you ever seen a rabbit hippity hop, hop, hop ?
Have you ever heard a gun go pow, pow, pow, pow,
Then why in the hell are you here for?
D-Settlement were Chicago’s best-kept secret: a trailblazing, diverse band mixing R&B, soul, punk, gospel and funk with
biting wit and political commentary. Led by Marvin Tate — a poet, artist, playwright and raconteur who wore pipe cleaners in his hair — and supported by a large, dynamic cast of characters, their music was both of and ahead of its time....more
supported by 12 fans who also own “Have You Ever Seen?”
This record has such a magical flow to it, it seems to capture so directly the ups and downs of life, the joy of music and dance, and it's just so damn catchy and fun to listen to as well. Giles
