Lyrics
0:00Congo Square – Teena Marie
0:00Sundays was better than other days
0:02Mondays through Saturdays
0:05Sundays we danced like there's no tomorrow
0:11Duke played piano in Storyville
0:13We sang the Blues round midnight until
0:16The sun came up and we'd improvise
0:22Congo Square on a d**e patoi
0:25Congo Square on a d**e patoi
0:27Congo Square on a d**e patoi
0:30All eyes open on Yeshua
0:33Congo Square on a d**e patoi
0:35Congo Square on a d**e patoi
0:38Congo Square on a d**e patoi
0:41All eyes open on Yeshua
0:44Lester was there so was Ms. Badu
0:47Louie played turmpet on West end Blues
0:49Ain't that Jill Scott with my sweet aunt Nancy
0:55Sassy and Ella start scattin' now
0:58They start a frenzy there in the crowd
1:00Sistahs has always been so resilient
1:06Congo Square on a d**e patoi
1:09Congo Square on a d**e patoi
1:11Congo Square on a d**e patoi
1:14All eyes open on Yeshua
1:17Congo Square on a d**e patoi
1:20Congo Square on a d**e patoi
1:22Congo Square on a d**e patoi
1:25All eyes open on Yeshua
1:29Ain't no filet gumbo babe without the rue
1:34Ain't no joyous feelings without payin' dues
1:39I'm gonna tie my pink bandana on
1:42'Cause what don't kill me make me strong
1:45Sing my Billie Strange Fruit song
1:47And dig my roots up Congo Square
2:00Dig this man
2:23Sundays was really the only days
2:26That took the place of the lonely days
2:29Sundays we looked to the new horizions
2:34I see the light at the end of the tunnel sir
2:37Jazz and Blues born of the slave gospel
2:40Black angels pick the white fiels of cotton
2:45Congo Square on a d**e patoi
2:48Congo Square on a d**e patoi
2:51Congo Square on a d**e patoi
2:53All eyes open on Yeshua
2:56Congo Square on a d**e patoi
2:59Congo Square on a d**e patoi
3:02Congo Square on a d**e patoi
3:04All eyes open on Yeshua
3:08Ain't no filet gumbo babe without the rue
3:13Ain't no joyous feelings without payin' dues
3:18I'm gonna tie my pink bandana on
3:21'Cause what don't kill me make me strong
3:24Sing my Billie strange fruit song
3:27And dig my roots up
3:29Congo Square Congo Square
3:40Congo Square Congo Square
3:58Party 'til the sun come up
4:09Play that piano man
