Lyrics
Bebe she’s a dark chick. Gotta get her medicine or she’ll get sick.
Where you gonna take him Bebe? You sure he’s gonna like it?
Bebe it’s a real deal. Yeah he’s buying.
Cat Face and Babaloo, they’re hanging on the corner.
They wanna talk to you; scatting and riffing.
Bebe, look and listen. Mister got a handle on your addiction.
Of course you gotta work it Bebe, just to get the benefit.
You got yourself a problem with a fix it.
Catface and Babaloo still hanging on the corner.
They wanna talk to you, scatting and riffing.
I hope you make it someday. Hitch a ride; get far away.
Bebe it’s waiting for you. Cut it away. Start anew.
Bebe, she’s hurting. They put her through the wringer and nearly killed her.
Go and put the gown on Bebe behind the curtain.
Doctor makes it better? That ain’t certain.
Hey, there’s no fooling you. You got the scars to prove it.
Brown Sugar / China White. Go on, forget it.
I hope you make it someday. Hitch a ride; get far away.
Bebe it’s waiting for you. Cut it away. Start anew.
I hope you gain the energy to win another fight.
That monkey’s not so bright. Scratch him and kick him.
I hope you make it someday. Hitch a ride; get far away.
Bebe it’s waiting for you. Cut it away. Start anew.
I hope you make it someday. You keep it real. You’re okay.
Bebe I’m rooting for you. For now I bid you adieu.
