Whoa, are we moving too slow?  
G5                  Bb5       G5         Bb5 
Have you seen us,       Uncle Remus? 
F5                         C5        
We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do) 
D5                       G5       
Unless we get sprayed with a hose 
 

F5                  A5 
It ain't bad in the day       If they squirt it your way 
D5                      G5       
'cept in the wintah, when it's froze 
G5                       D5       
And it's hard if it hits, on your nose (on your nose) 
 
 
Just keep your nose 
To the grindstone they say 
Will that redeem us, uncle reemus?  
I can't wait til mah 'fro is full grown 
I'll just throw away my doo-rag at home 
 
I'll take a drive to 
Beverly hills 
Just before dawn 
And knock the little jockeys 
Off the rich peoples lawn 
And before they get up 
I'll be gone 
(I'll be gone) 
Before they get up 
I'll be knockin' the jockeys off the lawn 
(down in the dew)
