Life and times of a new farmer/homesteader

Another song: Yes We Can Can

{ 06:00 , Sunday, January 28, 2007 } { 0 comments } { Link }
This one's by Allen Toussaint. It's not my favorite song by him, but my favorite song by him has no words.  That one is a rewrite of Professor Longhair's "Tupertina,"  but in a minor key.  If you ever listen to "American Routes" on public radio, that's the song they use in their opening.


Yes We Can Can

Now is the time

Now is the time for all good men
To get together with one another
Iron out our problems
And iron out our quarrels
And try to live as brothers
And try to find a peace within
Without stepping on one another
And do respect the women of the world
Just remember you all have mothers
Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, gosh almighty,
Yes we can, I know we can can

Take care of the children
The children of the world
They're our strongest hope for the future
The little bitty boys and girls

Make this land a better land
Than the world in which we live
And help each man be a better man
With the kindness that you give
I know we can make it (I know that we can)
I know darn well we can work it out
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we
If we wanna get yes we can can
I know we can make it a world
I know we can make it if we try
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, great, gosh almighty,
Yes we can, I know we can can

Thanks,

Raymond

Goodbye.
Thanks all. (ok, it gets a little nasty towards the end)
Gone by Sunday (diatribe)
Back again (some diatribe, nothing unfit for children)
Heyas!
