Laura Nyro
Rhythm and Blues
Mama, where's my silver shoes?
Mama, where is my perfume?
Mama said, "Don't go down"
But tonight, my baby's gonna take me downtown

Rock me, roll me, rhythm and blues
Rock me, roll me, rhythm and blues
Daddy said, "Don't go down"
But tonight, the blue fox is gonna take me downtown

That blue fox brought me flowers
He said

"We'll harmonize by starlight
Party-light, currents of music
Through the fields and country nights
Music

Be good to yourself, it's the least you can do
Be good to yourself, it's the most you can do"

Mr. Fox, I'm ready
Baby, baby, baby, I'm feelin' half crazy
My heart is burnin'
Burnin' for rhythm and blues
Rock me, roll me, rhythm and blues
Rock me, roll me, rhythm and blues
Mama said, "Don't go down"
But tonight, the jukebox is gonna take me downtown
Tonight, my baby's gonna take me downtown
