Right Me Up
« back
Why so many, why so many why? Why so many, why so many why?
Why so many, why so many why? Why so many, why so many why?
Why so many, why so many why? Why so many, why so many why?
Why so many, why so many why? Why so many, why?

Manny don't need no comforting
He don't ask of the world to bring him up
Ain't gonna see him waitin' on waitin' on waitin' on the day
Got him a chair in '73
It was his only option
So Manny agreed
Same chair he has today since they threw the cane away
And Manny wasn't doing nothing
He just doing his own thing
You know it getting pretty cold out by the jub jub swing
    Chorus:
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    I'm not so weak

Manny gonna go where the rabble go
He gonna roll down the world and he bring me up
Ain't going to see him giving into the others way
Cause they may beat us in search but our fall is unstained
You know he says it wont be long till we are up again
Having another swing
And Manny wasn't doing nothing
He just doing his own thing
Yah know it gettin' pretty cold but he the one who bring
    Chorus:
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    No, I'm not so weak
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    I'm not so weak

    Bridge:
    'Cause the bottles not empty
    'Cause your voices are all there
    My life will fight in my body for air
    'Cause the bottle's not empty
    'Cause your voices are all there
    My life will fight in my body for air

    Chorus:
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    And oh this friend today
    Right me up
    And oh this friend today
    Right me up
    I'm not so
    And oh this friend today
    Right me up
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    No, I'm not so weak
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    Oh this friend today
    Right me up
    I'm not so weak

Why so many, why so many why? Why so many, why so many why?
Why so many, why so many why? Why so many, why so many why?
Why so many, why so many why? Why so many, why so many why?
Why so many, why so many why? Why so many, why?

Manny we gonna get that A.M. dial just right
I'll hold that hanger up as long as the Sox put up a fight
