Be Stiff Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was a young girl down in southern Alabama
Daddy worked at home [?] generator man
Sweatin' 14 hours for a dollar here and there
Come on, [?]
Take one look at me, [?]
Sit me in the rocking chair and whispered in my ear
[Chorus]
Be stiff, b-aby, be stiff
This word is awful rough and
We gotta make it tough and
Real stiff, b-aby, real stiff
Beware the subtle danger
Of money hungry strangers
[Verse 2]
Now I grew up into a God fearin' gal
Daddy seemed much older than his years would ever tell
Still, he madе me promise him to practice еveryday
Those two great words of wisdom that he would always say
Well, he said
[Chorus]
Be stiff, b-aby, be stiff
This word is awful rough and
We gotta make it tough and
Real stiff, b-aby, real stiff
Beware the subtle danger
Of money hungry strangers
[Verse 3]
Seems I'm gettin' older, got a job all of my own
Record company labels here are all I've ever known
Work I do is not as tough as Daddy always knew
I'm makin' money bein' stiff and
Sellin' vinyl too
[Chorus]
Be stiff, b-aby, be stiff
This word is awful rough and
We gotta make it tough and
Real stiff, b-aby, real stiff
Beware the subtle danger
Of money hungry strangers
