Rockin' Chair
At jubilees, and jamborees
I'm doing all my best
To sing a song with my friends along
To rock'n'roll on request
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere I'm walking on air
Except when I sit singing on a rocking chair
Like Sherlock Homes, like Rolling Stones
I light a pipe or a cigarette
Take my guitar or better my sitar
And start playing running all the frets
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere I'm walking on air
Except when I sit singing on, on a rocking chair
And sharing my love with you
Nothing can make me feel blue
When I sit singing for you
I will make your dreams come true
Love me as I'm loving you
I'm miles away when I begin to play
There's no need to interfere
You'd better listen to the strings that glisten
An' you'll be rockin' with me my dear
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere I'm walking on air
Except when I sit singing on, on a rocking chair
And sharing my love with you
Nothing can make me feel blue
When I sit singing for you
I will make your dreams come true
Love me as I'm loving you
(repeat verse #1)
(repeat chorus)

You could call a man a bum with disgust on your morning run
Cause he lives outside in the street, you don't know this
But you've failed to realise that the one you so despise
Reflects yourself cos every black man is homeless
You could take your Alka-Seltzer while you talk about shelter
You might even wanna talk about a little loan
Cause no matter how rich you become you'll always be two, not one
Cause believe it or not, America ain't your home
We've been taught to say our name, Afro-American, all the same
Not fully American but gettin' there very slowly
