Thinking Cap

Now this is really bound to lick you in your head, I tell you
I'll let you put on your thinking cap instead
And if your name is Fred or Ted, I tell you
I'm dreader than dread
Redder than red
Heavier than lead
Alright, as I would say
Mama, got to come down dey
I say your daddy got to come down dey
Wow baby, you got to come down dey

When I say I kinda deal with modern fertility
And you can have me if you will
For I really gotta appeal for your fever and chill
Baby, when I'm around you, you can put me in your sill, I tell you
Whether your name is Tom or Bill, I may give you it, I tell you
Cause I'm cool
I know my golden rule
Always go to school, I tell you
So whether you're from Biafra, Indonesia, Burma, Sudan or China, or the Iron Curtain, as I would say
Now my name is Sir Marcus Antonio so I eats chicken on Sunday
I tell you, got to come down dey
Tell you, got to come down dey
Each and every one gotta come down dey, as I would say
See the little kids in the park, I tell you
Gotta play your stock, tell you baby, when I walk my chalk
Gotta put you up, I gotta take my cup, I tell you
As I would really got enough, and that's no bluff, I really got the stuff
Tell you, baby
When I say I don't touch LSD, I mean I'm free, like a bird up in a tree
I don't touch cocaine
Cause it will blow my brain
I tell you, gonna deal you pain, I tell you
And get you insane
And throw you some stain
Tell you, baby
Kinda take you off the main
Alright, really gonna blow your mind
'fore I cart you to where I want you this time, as I would say

(scatting)
Tell you, baby
(scatting)
Tell you, baby, what I got
Alright

Gotta change your mind, I tell you
Cause I'm feeling fine
Right on time
Tell you, baby
Gotta take it on the line, I tell you
Won't lose this time, I say
Kinda love football, but I won't be like Humpty Dumpty
I won't be hanging from the wall
I will never stall, I tell you baby, baby baby baby baby, when I say
Your mama got to come down dey
Each and every one gotta come down dey, I would say
New York City, London Town, Canada way
Way down to JA
And you can hear what the brother I-Roy would say
Got to come down dey, as I would say
Alright, alright
Tell you baby, this is out of sight
Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Got to come down dey
(scatting)

Do it, baby, you can hear me say
I never, never leave you
I never woulda
I say I woulda, coulda
I never shoulda
Gone back, I tell you
Say man, what you trying to do to me now?
