They Say I'm Different
They say I'm different 'cause I'm a piece of sugar cane
Sweet to the core that's why I got rhythm
My Great Grandma didn't like to foxtrot,
no instead she spitted snuff and boogied to Elmore James
Spit On!
They say I'm different 'cause I eat chitlins
I can't help it I was born and raised on 'em
That's right, oh, every mornin' I had to slop the hogs
and they be gettin off humpin to John Lee Hooker
Gettin off!
They say I'm different 'cause I'm a piece of sugar cane
and when I kick my legs I got rhythm
My Great Grandpa was a blues lover
He be rockin his moonshine to B.B. King and Jimmy Reed
Rock on pappy!
That's why they say I'm different
That's why they say I'm strange
Talkin bout Big Mama Thornton
Talkin bout Lightning Hopkins
Talkin bout Howlin Wolf
I'm talkin bout Albert King
Alright
Alright
Chuck Berry, Chuck Berry, Chuck Berry

When I was sweet sixteen
And that's why they say I'm different
That's why you think I'm strange
I'm talkin bout T. Bone Walker
I'm talkin bout Muddy Waters
I'm talkin bout Leadbelly, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Son House, and Freddie King
Bessie Smith!
Bessie Smith! Oh, Oh, Hey
Oh Bo Diddley have you heard it?
That's why they say I'm different
That's why they say I'm strange
and that's why they say I'm funky
Little Richard, Wild Lou, sunshine you sure can sing
Robert Johnson, Robert Johnson, Robert Johnson!
You play the blues for me
That's why, That's why, That's why they say I'm different
That's why, That's why, That's why they say I'm strange
That's why, why, why, why
That's why, why, why, why
That's why, why, why, why
That's why they say I'm funky, funky, uh-uh, funky, funky
(continues to fade out)
