The Stranger's Hand is commin' at you -LIVE(!)
yet untelevised by the stations,
with a groove revolution that knows no nations-
no flag, creed, gender, or segregation of race.
I'll take you to outer space
with our cosmic flow- and like water, I come flowing down on you
-with some funk kung-fu
and I wanna hit it.
So don't quit it,
'cause we' still got so far to go-
and I know
that life can be so hard when you hittin' the grind
but I say “So what!” I've got no time
to waste when the bass is thumpin'
cause- EVERY DAY'S A HOLIDAY WHEN YOU FUNKIN'
and I'm your white chocolate Santa- commin' atcha with a fat sack....o' toys
so make some noise, cause your favorite boyz are in the house and got you moanin and shouting for joy.
So get up, stand up, and raise your hands!
We all are commin' around from across the land
to chase the dirty old blues away,
so feed your head, feel your heart, and get yo' ass to play!
We' got the whole trifecta; gonna rock all three.
You know tonight's the night; this place' the place to be,
so don't play it cool,
just kick it old school,
a wop-bop-a-loo-op a-wop-bam-boo
now let the vibes flow through.
Tell you about three guys once who
were just trying make some music and live out their dream.
Sometimes they did time to time have sell some cream-
you know, just enough to get through college and get enough knowledge to make it in this scene.
But now just remember, when the yogart man was collecting,
The Stranger's Hand was defecting!!
“Hold on, we commin'- our
guitar, keeps strummin' all
night long, so keep bumpin' that song"
and all night long that is what they did.
Wasn't long before they had a hit,
servin' it up with some main ingredients like:
Blues, funk, rock & roll,
some jazz, hip-hop, & (of course) soul,
Oh and they struck Gold!
(Some Accopulco Gold!)
And it feels good
like you knew it would.
Yeah!
Ooh and that brings us up to the present day!
I believe the band's got something to say now.
They've got somethin' in 'em- and its bound to come out!
Hit it fellas!
And now we're back,
and ready for the final act,
I sing work songs to stay strong and keep track of...time slippin away,
But still I find the time to play,
I'm playin' everything I know,
And we sure do hope you like the show,
I been' workin'....and workin.....and I still' got a terrible way to go (X4)
