Mr. Brown is the nickname that my old bandmate Nicky from Brazil and I used to call each other. This is a funky tune about him.
lyrics
Mr. Brown has been sighted alive and well
A little south of the border
This one goes out to my boy Nicky
down in Brazil
Let me tell you 'bout a man
From a distant land
'Bout six foot one with a hell of a tan
He puts the bomb in the bamba
Likes to dance samba, venom in his veins cause his daddy's black mamba
He's got a lion's mane and a scorpion tail
He's got a cute girlfriend but she's in jail
He had the jungle fever with a
lady dreamweaver
A true believer in the canabasatiba
Mr. Brown yes he's always getting down
Mr. Brown where'd you get that funky sound (2x)
We gonna celebrate
Come say hello to Mr. Brown
We gonna party til the break of dawn
When carnival is in your town
Mr. Brown is my brother
yeah I know him well
Cause we stuck it out together
Thru heaven and hell
We've seen the hi to the lo, the lo to the hi
and we won't stop til we touch the sky
He writes rhymes so sweet
Make your grandma cry
With a funky-ass beat like rastafar-I
Skill beyond measure he's a rare pleasure
In a country full of gems he's a national treasure
Tudo bêm, tudo bom, beleza
Take me back To Rio de Janeiro
