Sweetbread Man
by Dr. Henderson Ward I met an old man, he was in misery and pain He told me this story, he had nothing to gain He said tell it to the world, I have nothing to hide Comes storm or sunshine, I'll surely abide I'm old and fat, I'm short and black My knees are knobby, my poor back is cracked I have heart trouble, my cholesterol is high My thieving doctor tends me, his fees are sky high I go to the market, I'm addicted to sweet bread My need for them is great, my taste buds are almost dead I rage at my foolishness, I scream and I shout And yet tomorrow I'll do the same, Oh what a foolish lout I'm beyond pity you think, and ready to die But God in mercy, saved my worthless hide He loves me for sure, and his grace is so pure I wonder if in heaven, there's a sweet bread store My life surrounds my music, the rhythms are sweet I ball and I cry, but I'm a killer on my feet I get up at night, I turn my music on When everyone else is sleeping, I dance a pom pom I bend to the left, and I shake it here, I twist to the right, and I twirl it there I move to the rhythm, I hum like a bee I'm a killer on my feet, something you should see I may be old and fat, I'm certainly short and black As long as I have my music, I'm ahead of the pack I wobble my belly, I gyrate my bum Lord have mercy, I have so much fun I dance all night, I dance until I'm sore I pretend I'm the greatest, that ever took the dance floor I move like a butterfly, I keep shaking my fat head And when I get tired, I lay down and eat some more sweet bread. Amen.
