Green Onions (live)

All right people, the rest of the hard working
 All star blues brothers are gonna be out here in a minute
 Including my little brother Jake
 But right now, I'd like to talk a little bit about thi
 E you're hearing this is of course the green onions tune
 It was a very big hit in the early sixties in this country
 And of course it was composed and recorded in
 Memphis, Tennessee, right here
 E, United States Of America, you know people
 I believe that this tune can be acquainted
 With the great classical music around the world
 Now you go to Germany, you've got your bach
 Your Beethoven, your Brahms
 Here in America you've got your Fred McDowell
 Your Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller and your Booker T & The M.G.'s

 In music and culture that this country
 Has made around the world and as you look around
 The world today, you see this country spurned
 You see backs turned on this country

 And that Marshall plan that says we're supposed

 Home for the next ten years people
 Right here in North America
 And enjoy the music and culture that is ours
 Yeah, I got one more thing to say
 I'm just talking about the music, people and what it does to me
 And that is as you look around the world
 You go to the Soviet Union or Great Britain
 Or France, you name it any country, ev
 Dy is doing flips and twists just to get into
 A genuine pair of American blue jeans
 And to hear this music and we got it all here in America
 The land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine
