Manny don’t need no comforting
He don’t ask of the world to bring him up
Ain’t gonna see him waitin’ on waitin’ on
Waitin’ on the day
Got him a chair in ’73
It was his only option
So manny agreed
Same chair he has today
Since they threw the cane away
Manny wasn’t doing nothing
He just doing his own thing
You know it getting pretty cold out
By the jub jub swing
Oh this friend today
Right me up
Oh this friend today
Right me up
I’m not so weak
Manny gonna go where the rabble go
He gonna roll down the world
And he bring me up
Ain’t going to see him
Giving into the others way
Cause they may beat us in search
But our fall is unstained
You know he says it won’t be long
Till we are up again
Having another swing
And manny wasn’t doing nothing
He just doing his own thing
Yah know it gettin’ pretty cold
But he the one who bring
Oh this friend today
Right me up
Oh this friend today
Right me up
I’m not so weak
’cause the bottles not empty
’cause your voices are all there
My life will fight in my body for air
’cause the bottle’s not empty
’cause your voices are all there
My life will fight in my body for air
Oh this friend today
Right me up
Oh this friend today
Right me up
I’m not so weak
Manny we gonna get that A. M. Dial just right
I’ll hold that hanger up
As long as the sox put up a fight
