Manhattan Transfer - Rambo Lyrics
Hes got that funny nameAn ramblin thats his game, thats itHes rambo, talkin boutMe!Well see (piano)They call him rambo cause hes travellinHe dont stay one placeHis lifes a string he keeps unravellinHe dont leave no traceHes got a yen for changin placesHe digs changin scenesThat way he stays in everybodys good gracesHes happy on the moveHes mobile and freeHe wants no strings attachedThats how its gotta be, see!Hell keep on ramblin till the codaHe dont stay one placeBecause hes just a ramblin manHis favorite hobbys hittin the roadHe was a fella livin solely by the ramblers only codeSome peoplere born to roamFate gave em roamin naturesAn so they wander arounLeavin people wondrin when theyll touch the grounHither n yon, here n beyonWherever they never been beforeAs soon as youre used ttheir faceTheyre off n runnin againGone to another new placePeripatetic is the only wordThat I have ever heard that people could useThat really describes himTheres no other word could do thatOnly other word I know that comesThe closest to it is gypsyAn that dont really fit him at allCause he aint tellin fortunesn hates bein dipsyEverywhere I go they call him rambocause he wont stay longIn my ramblinIve met a lotta people here n thereAn I find theyre bout the same everywhereEach with his own little thingThat he uses while hes tryin to swingMaybe the look aint the sameBut they play the same gameAn theres quite a bit o differenceIn their outlook, I knowStill n yet, their story, lemme tell youIs a story that you wont forgetWhen I was young n very greenI felt so stuck with mpresent situationLater, when I got a little olderThat was when I discovered I could splitn find myself another grooveThat was all I needI was on the moveI packed my little sack n started ramblinTo this day Im a rover wholl always be ramblinYou git drug stayin in one placeDepressed an feelin low downGet new kicks movin rounRoamin the countrys educational for youn widens your point of viewTests y mettle n cools y mind outn thats true without a doubtY know? I mean ydig - -Thats rambos gigRambo is ready to ramble n itchin tsplitOh yeah, hell start packin n quit itForget it! cause hes done with itThats rambo! travellin lightStay too long hell git uptightSo his motto is keep movinYou got it! thats his bit!Nex time he might leave an addresscause the little girl that he metLas nightPaid him so much attentionThat it got him a bit uptightWe might not have tcall him rambocause he jes might be settlin downHes gone the way of all menFat, skinny or tall menIt happened to this rover we know - rambo
