Soulville

Where is that part of town
They call SOULVILLE?
Well I’m new in this
Great big city now.
Won’t somebody please
Have some pity now?
I want to groove
To a jazz sound.
Please come and take
Me right on down
To a soul food joint.
I’m so hungry.
Want some ribs and some
Good ole collard greens.
Want some cornbread and
Lots of rice and beans.
No need to go.
You can just point.
Bridge
Where are all those groovy
Brownskin cats
Who wear all those great
Big wide brim hats?
I want to take a look around
In that part of town
They call SOULVILLE.
Show me where I can place
A number bet.
Buy some smoke and I’ll be
Real happy, yes!
I want to go really, get down.
Right in that soulful
Part of town.
