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
