Chorus:
Black snake shakies,
Loose-tail dogs,
Alligators gatin',
They's messin' with the frogs.
The owl is on the rooftop,
Quiet as the dark--
Take it easy, Mama,
When the bulldogs bark.

Bobby was a preacher,
He thought he got it right,
But what he told his people
Got 'em way up tight.
They couldn't love their neighbors,
And they couldn't love their lives,
They couldn't love their children
And they couldn't love their wives.

Give it all you got,
Even raise it to the sky,
You could get to heaven, love,
Before you die;
God is in the pulpit,
Sending down the light,
Whisperin' to everyone,
To help 'em get it right.
