《Green Onions》歌词

[00:02:57] All right people, the rest of the hard working

[00:02:57] All star blues brothers are gonna be out here in a minute

[00:02:57] Including my little brother Jake

[00:02:57] But right now, I'd like to talk a little bit about thi

[00:02:57] E you're hearing this is of course the green onions tune

[00:02:57] It was a very big hit in the early sixties in this country

[00:02:57] And of course it was composed and recorded in

[00:02:57] Memphis, Tennessee, right here

[00:02:57] E, United States Of America, you know people

[00:02:57] I believe that this tune can be acquainted

[00:02:57] With the great classical music around the world

[00:02:57] Now you go to Germany, you've got your bach

[00:02:57] Your Beethoven, your Brahms

[00:02:57] Here in America you've got your Fred McDowell

[00:02:57] Your Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller and your Booker T & The M.G.'s

[00:02:57] Ple, another example of the great contributions

[00:02:57] In music and culture that this country

[00:02:57] Has made around the world and as you look around

[00:02:57] The world today, you see this country spurned

[00:02:57] You see backs turned on this country

[00:02:57] This is where we're gonna make our stand in this decade, yeah

[00:02:57] E, I've got something to say to the state department

[00:02:57] I say take that archaic Monroe doctrine

[00:02:57] And that Marshall plan that says we're supposed

[00:02:57] To police force the world and throw 'em out, let's

[00:02:57] Home for the next ten years people

[00:02:57] Right here in North America

[00:02:57] And enjoy the music and culture that is ours

[00:02:57] Yeah, I got one more thing to say

[00:02:57] I'm just talking about the music, people and what it does to me

[00:02:57] And that is as you look around the world

[00:02:57] You go to the Soviet Union or Great Britain

[00:02:57] Or France, you name it any country, ev

[00:02:57] Dy is doing flips and twists just to get into

[00:02:57] A genuine pair of American blue jeans

[00:02:57] And to hear this music and we got it all here in America

[00:02:57] The land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine
