Brodka They Say I'm Different song lyrics

They say I'm different 'cause I'm a piece of sugar cane

Sweet to the core that's why I got rhythm

My great grandma didn't like the foxtrot

Nah, instead she'd spit her snuff and boogie to Elmore James

They say I'm different 'cause I eat chitlins

I can't help it I was born and raised on 'em, that's right

Every mornin' I'd have to slop the hogs

And they'd be gettin' off humpin' to John Lee Hooker

They say I'm different 'cause I'm a piece of sugar cane

And when I kick my legs, I got rhythm

My great grandpa was a blues lover

He'd be rockin' his moonshine to B.B. King and Jimmy Reed, rock on now

And that's why they say I'm different

And that's why they say I'm strange

I'm talkin' 'bout Big Momma Thornton

I'm talkin' 'bout Lightning Hopkins

I'm talkin' 'bout Howling Wolf

I'm talkin' 'bout Albert King

Chuck Berry, Chuck Berry, Chuck Berry

When I was sweet sixteen

And that's why they say I'm different

And that's why you think I'm strange

I'm talkin' bout T-Bone Walker

I get my Muddy Waters

I'm talkin' 'bout Leadbelly

Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

Son House and Freddie King

Bessie Smith, Bessie Smith, oh hey

Bo Diddley have you heard

That's why they say I'm different

That's why they say I'm strange

That's why they say I'm funky

Little Richard wow you sure showed 'em you sure could sing

Robert Johnson, Robert Johnson, Robert Johnson

He played the blues for me

And that's why, and that's why

And that's why they say I'm different

And that's why, and that's why

And that's why they say I'm strange

And that's why why why why

And that's why why why why

They say I'm funky funky funky
