lyrics

ONLY BLACK GUY IN TOWN by Joe Jaunty © 2013

Hello, my name is Irving Brown!
I came to this place to find some piece of mind

Not here to annoy - anyone
I see U look at my skin - well it´s just fine

Hello, my name is Irving Brown...
guess you got my last name (by your frown)

Hello - my name is Irving Brown
I just moved to town - my place is just over there!

Got a white-picket-fence and a house of wood-just like ya´all
(if U care)

CHORUS:
I´m the only black guy in your town
just mow your lawn - don´t look at the clown

---
Hello, my name is Irving Brown!
My mama loved me - so I can´t be that bad...
but just in case U haven´t heard
I´m contagious - cus I´m right here

/heave your children up - say your prayers - cuz I´m settlin´down/

CHORUS:
I´m the only black guy in your town
just mow your lawn - don´t look at the clown
(rep)

Hello, my name is Irving Brown
praise The Lord - that I stay outside...

better raise your fence - paint it whiter than white
Shut them doors - close them blinds

CHORUS:
I´m the only black guy in your town
just mow your lawn - don´t look at the clown
(rep)

Cover the eyes of your children - cover them´all
I´m probably gonna´rape u all...
---

Yeah - look at the "odd one out" - he´s one-of-a-kind...
/I´m the only black guy in town/
My name is Irving Brown...
