Out Of The Ghetto Lyrics


Donald Fagen Out Of The Ghetto

You've come a long way baby
From wealth and food stamp lines
You're moving on up
And leaving poverty behind

You've had a good education
And seen the best of the schools
But when you take a drink
The ghetto comes out of you

I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
But I could not get that ghetto out of you

You're a foxy lady
Your mamma had a beautiful child
You're built like a brick house
And that's no lie

When we go to the disco
You drive the fellas wild
When you shake your booty
Ghetto style

I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
But I could not get that ghetto out of you

You're a hunk of raw sugar
Got some real sweet hips
Your love, your love, your love
Is like a honey drip

Your roots are in the mean streets
That'll never change
Ghetto mamma
Stay the same

I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
I took you out of the ghetto
(I took you out of the ghetto)
But I could not get that ghetto out of you

Ghetto mamma, don't you change
Ghetto mamma, stay the same

Ghetto mamma, don't you change
Ghetto mamma, stay the same

Ghetto mamma, don't you change
Ghetto mamma, stay the same

Ghetto mamma, don't you change
Ghetto mamma, stay the same

Ghetto mamma, don't you change
Ghetto mamma, stay the same
