Omar's Blues #3
Omar's Blues
(David Olney/Bug Music-David Olney Songs)

Summer dresses on the pretty girls
Crossing the street like a string of pearls
Radio playing from the second floor
Omar's heading down to the corner store
Pack of smokes and a six of beer
That's the way we do it around here

Dodgers in Brooklyn, De Gaulle's in France
Ike's in the White House, the bop is the dance
Transistor radio goes with me to bed
Doo Wop and Ray Charles goin' 'round in my head
I'll get my license one of these years
That's the way we do it around here

Big brother's got him a hot rod car
We get fish and chips from the Sportsman's Bar
Betty Lou's got a new pair of shoes
But all of my friends are boppin' the blues
Omar looks at the girls, tries not to stare
That's the way we do it around here
