GUEST Origins: Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown (46) RE: Lyr Req: Rufus Rastus Johnson Brown 02 Mar 24


Words missing from the recording I had on cassette tape;
-
"what you gonna do when the / rent comes round / rain comes down /
Oh babe? Oh babe?
"what you gonna do when the / rent comes round / rain comes down /
Oh babe? Oh babe?
"what you gonna do when the / rent comes round / rain comes down /
I'm gonna stand on the porch with my mouth stuck out
Oh babe! Oh babe!
-
three lines question and one line answer, and that pattern was made three or four times throughout the song - Nothing about-C-H-I-C-K-E-N-
-
Not sure if that verse had the "rent... " or the "rain..."
But it seems especially strong if it were "rent...", because the suggestion could then be: "are you the cat that comes and wants to eat us up or are you our Mother bird who comes to us with goodies to eat."
