96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
Said it was 96 degrees in the shade
Ten thousand soldiers on parade
Taking i and i to meet a big fat boy
Sent from overseas, the queen employ
Excellency before you i come with my representation
You know where i m coming from
You caught me on the loose fighting to be free
Now you show me a noose on the cotton tree
Entertainment for you, martyrdom for me
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
Solo:
Some may suffer and some may burn
But i know that one day my people will learn
As sure as the sun shines, way up in the sky
Today i stand here a victim the truth is i ll never die
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
Real hot in the shade
