lyrics

Po’ Folks (For Norman Lear)

There ain’t no po’ folks on TV. Ain’t nobody looks like me.

Ain’t no tattered, shabby man diggin’ dinner out a dog food can.

Ever think it’d give me a little peace o’ mind

If I could give the world a little piece o’ mine?

Why, you’d think the only workin’ folk in this town

Was bein’ cuffed and stuffed and beatin’ down.

I heard it from the Holy Hippy’s mouth:

“Many mansions in my pappy’s house.”

How’ll they accomodate the likes of me

When they don’t even show no po’ folks on the TV?



Don’t sang no blues songs on TV,

just sang “My Company ‘Tis O’ Thee”.

They all livin’ high and they lookin’ good.

Done chased the po’ folk out the neighborhood.

I reckon I got me no call to complain.

Hell, them jazzy jangles taught me how to sang,

Taught me what counts is looks not brains,

And how I got to go and buy me two of everythang.

I heard it from the Holy Hippy’s mouth:

“Many mansions in my pappy’s house.”

How’ll they accomodate the likes of me

When they don’t even show no po’ folks on the TV?
