Salamaggi’s Birthday

Melvin Van Peebles

[Verse 1]
I know you didn't cut that ofay
It happened last month anyway
Just an excuse you too new
Heres the deal
I’ve had my eyes on you
You just been walkin' a week or two
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi’s birthday
Smile and the world smiles with you

[Verse 2]
What put you on the block anyway
A kid big H or an old man
Probably all three
Here's the deal
Wouldn't be no news to me
Ain't nothin' under a rock I ain't seen
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the world smiles with you

[Verse 3]
Don’t play wide wet eyes on me
Cry and you cry alone
It’s cool I'm a blood too
Nothin’ gonna happen to you
At least nothin' new
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile if you know what’s good for you

[Verse 4]
It's so to speak a little party
A little surprise for solly
So I'm takin' you in
So to speak for a little questionin'
Collectin' a little dues
So to speak police dues
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the world smiles with you

[Verse 5]
Ain't gonna pull no train on you
No freight train anyway
Maybe one or two after the surprise
He's first 'cause it's his party
First as far as they'll know anyway
Anyhow it look like rain tonight anyway
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile if you know what's good for you

[Verse 6]
Get down and busy it wouldn't pay
For folks to see you crusing
My partners white but he's OK
Some of the guys wouldn't like it
My partner don't mind seconds
As long as she's a sister anyway
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the world smiles with you

[Verse 7]
You gonna straighten him
Don't let it slip at the station
Long as you sweet
Soon as you finish straightenin' me
You got peace on my beat
What they don't know don't hurt me
Smile brown sugar
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile if you know what's good for you

[Verse 8]
All right now brown sugar
I'm changing places with dave
Now just don't get impatient
Just one more little detour
Before we see the station
Dave's gonna question you now
Smile brown sugar smile
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile and the world smiles with you

[Verse 9]
Us bloods gotta stick together
So here's a tip for you
Always get questioned by young guys
Old ones can trun mean
'Specially if they can't and try
There a lot of places for a Billy you know
Even saw 'em fix a white girl
Even if she was a hippie
Smile brown sugar smile
It's Salamaggi's birthday
Smile if you know what's good for you smile
Smile
Smile
Smile brown sugar smile
