Lee Dorsey - Who's Gonna Help Brother Get Further? Lyrics

WE MAY SEEM HAPPY
LIKE EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT
FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN
EVERYTHING'S UPTIGHT

BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE
WE'RE COVERING UP THE PAIN
IT'S A OLD THING, IT'S A SOUL THING
BUT IT'S A REAL THING

PLAY DOWN WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO BROTHER
WHO'S GONNA HELP HIM GET FURTHER
ONE ANOTHER (YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT!)
ONE ANOTHER

THERE'S OLD DUDE, STANDING ON THE CORNER
WAITING FOR A FOX TO PASS
THE ONLY THING HE'S GOT TO GO BY
THAT THIS IS WHERE HE SAW HER LAST

AND THERE'S OLD JOHN, TWO DOLLARS IN HIS POCKET
TALKING LIE AND THINKS HE'S RICH
AND LOOK THAT LITTLE FOOL, TOO COOL TO GO TO SCHOOL
HE GET A JOB IN TWO DAYS, HE QUIT

PLAY DOWN WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO BROTHER
WHO'S GONNA HELP HIM GET FURTHER
ONE ANOTHER (IS THAT THE TRUTH')
ONE ANOTHER (YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT)

NOW... YEAH, YEAH, YEAH... YEAAAAAAAHH...!!
...NOW, WHO'S GONNA HELP BROTHER GET FURTHER
...NOW I FIND, I'M ENCLINED, TO BELIEVE ONE ANOTHER!
YEAH... OOOOH PLAY IT SON..!!

NOW LOOK AT HERE...

MOMMA GET UP EARLY, EARLY IN THE MORNING
POPPA'S ALREADY GONE (GOOOOOOONE)
AND I BEEN SLAVING FOR HALF FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH, NOW
AND YOU KNOW THAT'S WRONG

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIBERTY BELL
I HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT'
DID IT MEAN A DING DONG' (A DING DONG)
IT MUST HAVE DING DONGED (IT DIDN'T DING LONG..)

PLAY DOWN WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO BROTHER
WHO'S GONNA HELP HIM GET FURTHER
ONE ANOTHER (IS THAT THE TRUTH')
ONE ANOTHER (YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT)

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH YEAAAAAAAHH...!!
