Does anyone know the full lyrics to Obediah come home from America if you see nice clothes Obe bring
Obediah come home from America if you see nice clothes Obe bring
If you see nice _______ Obe-diah bring
If you see nice ________ Obe-diah bring
If you see nice ________ Obe-diah bring

He posing, he posing, he posing BUT I hope Obe style ain't cut
He posing, he posing, he posing but I hope Obe style ain't cut....

Thats all I remember, I'm sure that there's more verses but I can't remember? I assumed it was a popular song but google is unhelpful so far. Can anyone help me?


Thanks

I give up. Googling with several phrases from the above quote didn't get me anywhere. Any more ideas?

Guest, if you're still watching this thread, can you give us any more information? Like, what was the style of music? Calypso? Children's playground chant? What country do you suppose it came from? Where did you hear it?

WHY (besides CRAZY - it appears you are already there) do YOU want the Lyrics? (Something like "my second cousin's barmitzva in Havensack NJ ... at Joe's Shmuck Luck Cafe, a dark-skinned-female (mid 40's) Isralia (perhaps Arab) , sang a slow hip-sintilation, singing this tune while pelvic grinding her hips into 88 y.o. great-grand-pa's face.)

You Got the IDEA - Guest?

WHY -
WHERE - did you First Hear the LYRICS - Geographic (Country,State,City, Club)GPS not necessary
WHEN - Year (at least)
HOW - Live, Cousin's Bedroom, Club, Recording
WHO - performed (age, combo, sex (none of that we already established Bamitzvah)

BETTER YET.....
Look go to ARCHIVE.ORG - and you can ignore all the Di9ks Jim wants on parade.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

That should keep the little pecker up all day ... bet your request is answered before the start of a western hemi - new week.
