Bottle of Love Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys

Don’t Call Me Buckwheat

0

In the 1950's
Eisenhower's weisenheimers
Say hey kids, the Drifters
What it means to me
Ram a lam a ding dong
Take me back to my old school
Teach me about the golden rule
That's what I need
A bottle of love, bottle of love
A touch of tenderness
Such a sweet caress
Emotions away
Not just a mental thing
I heard a lot of people say
And I felt all the arrows they sling
Flexing up my whiskey muscle
Hoistin' with the boys on the streets I guzzled
Bottle of poison, it was nevеr enough
'Cause what I need, is a
Bottle of lovе, bottle of love
A touch of tenderness
Such a sweet caress
In the 1860's
Civil times and skin's the game
Flashback, slave psychology
Lincoln's makin' history
Ram a lam a ding dong
Put a wreath around every grave
Underneath lies every slave
Four million strong
A bottle of love, bottle of love
A touch of tenderness
Such a sweet caress
Two black jockeys on the white house lawn
Pink flamingo and a boot black shoe horn
Two white skinheads march across the land
Hate born out of the womb of Ku Klux Klan
We got the proclamation
Now where's the real emancipation
We got the proclamation
Now where's the real emancipation
