Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: 42 Barrels of Oil a Day
I swear I had this old record YEAES ago. I know this song and it IS the First RAP song. Had Jazzy horns.

I look out my window and what do I see?
an oil well a pumping more money for me.

Starts out .. I got in a game of gallopin dice
Made 42 passes and man that was nice.
I took all my loot and stashed it away
and bought me some land the very next day.
Now there was some land as dry as can be
and all my friends they felt sorry for me.
They said man an Boy you sure got stuck ,
but they didnt figure on my Texas luck.

(Chorus is sung) 42 barrels of oil a day
forty two barrels an man that aint hay.
I look out my window and what do I see
a 42 barrels a pumping for me.
