歌词
Mmm, well
When I first came to town, people
I was walkin' down Pennsylvania Avenue
And I heard a lot of people talkin' 'bout the White House
I decided I'd drop in there that night
When I got there, I said, "Man, what's shakin'?"
They said, "Look, man, you can't come in here
This is where the president hang out, what you want?"
I said, "Look, man, I'm John Lee Hooker, I sing the blues"
They said, "The president don't have time for the blues"
I said, "Look, man, everybody got to have the blues sometimes
Don't matter where you're from or where you're at"
So I decided to make a run for president, hm
Yeah, I know everybody got the blues
'Cause I'm in touch with 'em when I sing, it's my life
I got the number one record in Detroit right now
It's called "Boom Boom"
Yeah, it tells a tremendous story, these lyrics are somethin' else
I want you to dig it and pick up on it
And every time you hear "boom boom", that's a dollar change
I don't need your money 'cause I finance
My own campaign, I ain't for sale
I keep a fat bankroll in my pocket, baby, big as a hay bale
Yes, sir
Now I want everybody to know I'm strictly copastatic
I ain't Republican or Democratic
I got a new program for the nation
There's gonna be groove time, a big sensation
Every man and woman gets one scotch, one bourbon, one beer
Three times a day, if they stay cool
And little chilluns gets milk, cream, and alcohol
Two times a day, if they stay involved in school
Now boogie, chillun, yes, sir
Mmm, no, no, no
Got a mighty time
Now I want nine fine-lookin' women sittin' on the Supreme Court
Their big legs, their tight skirts drive me out of my mind
When I need a judgement, ha-ha
They gonna give it to me right on time, have mercy
They call me on the phone sayin', "Johnny
We disagree on which one of us you like the best"
I said, "Honey, y'all equally fine under the law"
Yes, sir
Now I'm shoppin' up to date, Jimmy Reed, Vice President
Little Johnny Taylor, Secretary of State
I got the foreign policy numbers, 444
Domestic spendin' goin' up, continental clothes
Stetson hats, everybody's on the dance floor
Yes, sir
All you backbiters and syndicators, hear what I say
I ain't gonna stand for no trash talkin', double-dealin'
If I catch you messin' 'round the White House
While I'm there, might cut you or might shoot you, I just don't know
And there's one point I really wanna prove
If you vote for John Lee Hooker, you know you're gonna groove
Don't be fooled by the Republican, don't pity the Democratic
Vote John Lee Hooker and everything gon'
Be mellow, knocked out, copastatic
