Green Onions歌词完整版

All right people the rest of the hard working

All star blues brothers are gonna be out here in a minute

Including my little brother Jake

But right now I'd like to talk a little bit about thi

E you're hearing this is of course the green onions tune

It was a very big hit in the early sixties in this country

And of course it was composed and recorded in

Memphis Tennessee right here

E United States Of America you know people

I believe that this tune can be acquainted

With the great classical music around the world

Now you go to Germany you've got your bach

Your Beethoven your Brahms

Here in America you've got your Fred McDowell

Your Irving Berlin your Glenn Miller and your Booker T &The M G 's

Ple another example of the great contributions

In music and culture that this country

Has made around the world and as you look around

The world today you see this country spurned

You see backs turned on this country

Well people I'm gonna tell you something

This continent North America is the stronghold

This is where we're gonna make our stand in this decade yeah

E I've got something to say to the state department

I say take that archaic Monroe doctrine

And that Marshall plan that says we're supposed

To police force the world and throw 'em out let's

Home for the next ten years people

Right here in North America

And enjoy the music and culture that is ours

Yeah I got one more thing to say

I'm just talking about the music people and what it does to me

And that is as you look around the world

You go to the Soviet Union or Great Britain

Or France you name it any country ev

Dy is doing flips and twists just to get into

A genuine pair of American blue jeans

And to hear this music and we got it all here in America

The land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine
