LYRICS:
Verse I:

I got up, I got off my ass, and took a walk down the railroad tracks
One tie per step’s too small, two ties my stride’s too long
So it’s a balancing act - I can walk down the rail but not too fast
If I slip just flip my hips and skip a rail to the other one

Pre-chorus:

You leave a list in the drawer for the groceries
You Don’t wanna miss any groceries
You put the bread in the box in the pantry
Yeah you make sure you stocks up the pantry
And wash the dishes in the sink before they stackin’ up
Because the moment that you blink they all be actin up
I guess I’ll take another look in the refrigerator
I’m just a man and you knew it

Chorus:

Boh boh boh bohdobobo, lend another hand to it
Boh boh boh bohdobobo, I’m just a man and you knew it

Verse II:

I dig my rhythm from the stones under the ground
I get my lyrics from the shit I see around
I see a melody swinging free from tree to tree
I wake up every day, Lift up my head and say okay

Chorus II:

You leave a list in the drawer for the groceries
Yeah you don’t wanna miss any groceries
You put the bread in the box in the pantry
Yeah you make sure you stocks up the pantry
And wash the dishes in the sink before they stackin’ up
Because the moment that you blink they all be actin up
I guess I’ll take another look in the refrigerator
Why you a left over salad eatin’ alligator

I throw the bacon in the pan because I bring it back
Now Take it easy less you wanna have a heart attack
I been counting’ all the ways I could be good to you
Have you been layin off the shit you know you shouldn’t do?
I took the stairs when I shoulda took the elevator
Why you left over salad eating alligator
I guess I’ll take another look in the refrigerator

I’m just a man and you knew it

Boh boh boh bohdobobo, lend another hand to it
Boh boh boh bohdobobo, I’m just a man and you knew it

I see a melody, swingin free from tree to treeI wake up every day, lift up my head and say okay
And leave a list in the drawer leave a list in the drawer naw you don’t wanna miss any groceries
