[Verse 1]
I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 1-2-5
So sick and dirty
More dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 2]
Hey, white boy
What you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy
You chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it springs to my mind
I'm just lookin' for a good friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 3]
Here he comes
He's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early
He's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for the man
I'm waiting for the man
Twenty-six dollars in my hand
Up to Lexington, 1-2-5
So sick and dirty
More dead than alive
I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 2]
Hey, white boy
What you doin' uptown?
Hey, white boy
You chasin' our women around?
Oh pardon me sir, it springs to my mind
I'm just lookin' for a good friend of mine
I'm waiting for my man
[Verse 3]
Here he comes
He's all dressed in black
PR shoes and a big straw hat
He's never early
He's always late
First thing you learn is that you always gotta wait
I'm waiting for the man
