Anything You Wanna Know Lyrics by Joe Tex

Buying A Book

0

[Verse 1]
They had a shootin' last night at the Lincoln hotel
Where'd he go?
Who will they get to defend them, Jones or Bell?
They both good
Who fix the best barbeque, fish and chips?
Tell me, now
They say Cassius barbeque will make you smack your lips
But it's hot, y'all
Doctor Smith work at his home in his office downtown
And that's good
He's got a whole lotta friends that won't let him down, amen
East Boulevard ain't gon' be so rough after while
When Joe Dell begin to clean it up, that's good
Woah
[Chorus]
You can find out anything you wanna know, huh
About anybody in town that you wanna know
At Ida Mae's beauty shop
Or Webb's barber shop
Or you can read it all on the restroom wall
At the bus depot, yeah
[Verse 2]
Why do they fight all the time at the Streamline Club, uh
Mr. Wells puttin' somethin' in them drinks at the club, must be
They say they're doin' the same thing at the Starlight Lounge
Ain't it a shame?
Mrs. Wells servin' drinks that will knock a man down, hmm
Fern Williams got all the theatres sold up, yeah
But to see his pictures, you got to be in a dud
Over forty-one, huh
Joe Brown had to give up the Apex Bar, it's a shame
The finance man come and got his car
He got to walk, y'all
Woah
[Chorus]
You can find out anything you wanna know, huh
About anybody in town that you wanna know
At Ida Mae's beauty shop
Or Webb's barber shop, huh
Or you can read it all on the restroom wall, uh!
At the bus depot
[Verse 3]
Why did they have it at the Club 33rd, y'all, heh
Was it true what they said about Billy's bein' slow?
Must've been
What's goin' on at that lanundry mat
Every day in the week, huh
Down on the corner, pork and Texas treats
Somethin' goin' on, y'all
Fifth avenue shops got a special today, yeah, heh
Tune in and hit on the X-O-K, heh
Six months ago Mary let her dress away, yeah
Ted said Claire's got it out today, ha-ha!
[Chorus]
Oh, you can find out anything you wanna know
About anybody business that you wanna know
At Ida Mae's beauty shop
And Webb's barber shop, huh
Or you can read it all on the restroom wall, uh!
At the bus depot, yeah
[Outro]
Find out anything you wanna know
Find out anything you wanna know, ha
At the bus depot
