The Coolest Place In Town

Melvin Van Peebles

[Verse 1]
Take your hands off me, mister!
I ain't jumpin', I'm leanin' over
Pickin' up some of this breeze
This is the coolest place in town

[Verse 2]
Take your hands off me, mister!
If I didn't jump when sister got busted
Or junior boy's got it switchin 'round
Take your hands off me, Jim
You know I ain't gon' jump now

[Verse 3]
Take your hands off me, buddy!
Besides, she just think it was
'Cause I miss her so
And you know you shouldn't
Talk bad about people after they go
So she's gone, good, I suppose

[Verse 4]
Take your hands off me, mother!
If I didn't leap when Medgar got your message
Or Malcolm, or Martin Luther King
Take your hands off me, Jim
You know I ain't gon' do it now

[Verse 5]
Take your hands off me, buddy!
If I go, you'll know it
I'm takin' one or two like you
Along with me

[Verse 6]
Take your hands off me, man!
Sure, she was my old lady
But she was free
Ain't no woman gon' get her finger
Crooked that high up my pooter
Make a country fool outta me

[Verse 7]
Take your hands off me, mister!
It's just that this is where it's at up here
Lets you think
The sky ain't uptight, it's free

[Verse 8]
Take your hands off me, baby!
I'm just leanin' out to catch a little
Breeze and sea
Them tail lights glidin' to eternity
Don't poke out your mouth, mister
Your folks foreclosed on my air conditioner

[Verse 9]
Take your hands off me, mister!
I ain't leapin, I'm leanin!
I dig the breeze
This is the coolest place in town
