One another Yeah, you're right Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Pray tell what’s gonna happen to brother Who’s gonna help him get further One another One another Mama get up early, early in the morning Papa's already gone Going out a-working for half of what he's worth now You know that it's wrong What happen to the Liberty Bell I heard so much about?

One another Yeah, you're right Pray tell what’s gonna happen to brother Who’s gonna help him get further One another Is that the truth? One another Yeah, you're right Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah Did it really ding-dong? It didn't ding long Did it really ding-dong? It didn't ding long
