Shame on You

[Verse 1]
My friends they wash the windows
And they shine in the sun
They tell me wake up early in the morning sometime
See what a beautiful job we've done
I say let's put on some tunes
Sing along and Doolittle all day
Go down to the riverside take off our shoes
And wash these sins away

[Chorus]
And the river said
La la la it said shame on you
And the river said
La la la it said shame on you

[Verse 2]
I go down to Chicano city park
'Cause it makes me feel so fine
And when the weeds go down you can see up close
In the dead of the winter time
But when the summer comes everything's in bloom
And you wouldn't know it's there
And the white folks like to pretend it's not
But their music's in the air

[Chorus]
And you can hear 'em singing
La la la they said shame on you
You can feel 'em dancing
La la la they said shame on you

[Verse 3]
My friend Tanner she says you know
Me and Jesus we're of the same heart
The only thing that keeps us distant
Is that I keep fuckin' up
I said come on down to Chicano city park
And wash your blues away
The beautiful ladies walk right by
You know I never know what to say

[Chorus]
And they'll be singing
Ooo la la la la la la la la shame on you
And they'll be dancing
Ooo la la la they said shame on you
Shame on you

[Verse 4]
Let's go roadblock trippin' in the middle of the night
Up in Gainesville town
There'll be blue lights flashin' down the long dirt road
When they ask me to step out
They say, "We've been looking for illegal immigrants
Can we check your car?"
I say, "You know it's funny
I think we were on the same boat back in 1694"

[Chorus]
And I said
Ooo la la la la la la la la shame on you
They'll be dancing
La la la I said shame on you
I said
Ooo la la la la la la la la la la shame on you
Shame on you la la
La la la la la shame on you
I said
I said
La la la shame on you
I'll be dancing
And they'll be singing
La la la I said shame on you
Shame on you

[Outro]
Roadblock trippin' in the middle of the night
Gainesville town
Blue lights flashin' down the long dirt road
