Ho-down Lyrics

/ Irving Mills / Cab Calloway / Clarence Gaskill)

Chorus:
That's what
I want
That's what I need
That's what I want
Ho-down

She sprays
her lies around her like the clouds release the rain
And endless stream of
promises that vaporize again
Remember last Tuesday when you said it was the
end
You caught her in your Nissan getting funky with your best friend
She
will never change till her flesh is under dirt
But then at least she's
hangin' with neighbors she deserves
Forgive me if I seem to sound a little
on the loose
But I cannot pour sugar just to sweeten up the truth

I
would like to wish her to a long forgotten dream
Happened early morning when
I was just two or three
Everyone around who didn't quite fit in the
mix
Turned and waved goodbye and disappeared without a hitch
Except my
friend Billy who live just across the way
The world belonged to us forever
on from that day
Until we ran into that sneaky girl from down the
street
Who tried to smile so pretty stealing Billy right from
me

Chorus

The world spun around her everywhere that she would
go
But even my friend Billy knew that she was just a - oh no
She had such
a way to twist and turn a simple truth
Told my friend Billy I had been a
little loose
Then Billy took her by the arm and left me standing all
along
I just had to wait there watching them do-se-do
Till Billy pushed
her in the deepest darkest hole around
It was goodbye sneaky girl - ho
down

I would like to wish her for her a place to somewhere far
A
place in outer space to some exotic little star
A million miles away would
probably suit the planet fine
Someplace where it's clear she is gone and you
are mine
Or maybe some romantic little island in the sea
As far away as it
is possible to be
She can have the flowers and the wind
And I can have my
baby back with me once again

Chorus

I would like to wish for her
another little story
My daddy said to me when I was just a little
girly
He told me 'bout a pretty graceful lovely lady bird
Who never could
find a nest good enough for her
From every tree she landed in she saw one
that was better
So off she went before she ever could regain her
breath
Wasn't it a pity when she finally hit the ground
It was goodbye
lovely birdy - ho down
Goodbye lovely birdy - ho down
