[Dedication]

This is my
My dedication
A song to a father
From one to another
One to another
A brother to a brother
Cast your mind back (ooh ooh ooh)
To black Africa (ooh ooh ooh)
Little wooden ships (ooh ooh ooh)
Crossing the ocean (ooh ooh ooh)
Little wooden ships (ooh ooh ooh)
Landing on the shoreline (ooh ooh ooh)
The name of the place, Lord (ooh ooh ooh)
Is New-Orleans (ooh ooh ooh)
Remember Jelly Roll Morton (ooh ooh ooh)
Later Charlie Bird Parker (ooh ooh ooh)
Travel to the North, yes (ooh ooh ooh)
With Charlie Bird Parker (ooh ooh ooh)
People going insane, yes (ooh ooh ooh)
With John Coltrane, Lord (ooh ooh ooh)
But can you dig on his name now? (ooh ooh ooh)
I say it's Roll on Kirk, now (ooh ooh ooh)

[Roll on Kirk]
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, yeah
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk on, check it one more time
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll, oh, Roll on Kirk on, mmm mmm
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk on, yeah

Watch him move
Every movement speaks now
Seems his tender fingers
Is strangled in your cheeks now
He does a little dance
And he stomps on his feet now
Yeah he moan and moan and blows
The bellows in his cheeks now
Come on, baby

Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, go baby
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk on

Come aboard the ship
It is a beautiful trip, Lord
You're welcome aboard, yes
Especially if you're hip, child
Watch him closely
While he makes up to the world now
He makes a woman aware of man, ooh
A man of a goal, now
Oh, make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll, Roll on Kirk, yeah
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make a-'em work, m-make a-'em work
Roll on Kirk on, now

Yes, the captain's at the wheel, Lord
Take you on a trip, yeah
You all got to excel
To the invisible whip, now
It's driving me, oh no
I got to flow farther
Help me, sister
Help me, brother
Take my hand, yeah
And meet me to the bellow
Keep it to my father
Come on with me, brother
Mmm, Children
Llittle bit children, yeah

Mmm, make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, Lord
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, mama
Make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, Lord, mmm-hmm-hmm
Everything has a dream
Everything has a scheme
Let's search for
Their reasons together
The reason together

Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, all right
Hey man
You need of any woman
