Shine (LP版) - Ry Cooder (雷·庫德)

Written by：Joesph Byrd/Ry Cooder

When I was born

They christened me

Plain Samuel Johnson Brown

But I hadn't grown

So very big

Fore some folks

In this town

Had changed it round to sambo

I was rastus to a few

Then chocolate drop was added

By some others that I knew

And then to cap the climax

I was strolling down the line

When someone shouted fellas

Hey

Come on and pipe the shine

But I don't care a bit

Here's how I figure it

Well just because my hair is curly

And just because my teeth are pearly

Just because I always wear a smile

Likes to dress up

In the latest style

Just because I'm glad I'm livin'

Takes trouble smilin' never whine

Just because my color's shady

Slightly different maybe

That's why they call me shine

Say just because just because my hair is curly

But lookin' I'm curly for

And just because just because my teeth are pearly

Aborolo bipop

Pop pop pop pop

And just because bipop

I always wear a smile

Tuchuba

I wear my jeans like a man I mean

He always dresses in the latest style

Just because just because

I'm glad I'm livin' abrolobi blue abrolobi blue

Takes trouble smilin' never whine

Just because duwa my color's shady

Slightly different maybe

That's why they call me shine

Do do do ro do do do do ro
