Street Corner Preacher

Ah put it in

Ah, bau bau, ya ya
Ah bau bau, put it ooh bop
Ah bau bau, put 'em bop
Ah bau bau, put it ooh bop
Burnt out houses with the front door gone

He got a new mercy, a new grace

Now he's working in a hospital washing dishes
Back in the neighborhood working for the savior

But it's hard to get a job with a felony charge
He can see for sure that his work is cut out
Well, he understands the need for living it large
He got 2 years off for good behavior
But there's a whole lotta trouble all around
But all around the war rages on
Well, his faith is his fountain, his love is his labor
Whoa, yeah, ahh
Ah put it in

Bau bau, put it on back
To save the liver from awaking death is his conviction

Street corner preacher with the angry face
The eyes of man, well he seeks no favor
Children, soldiers in this battle ground
Ah put it in
Ah put it in
He got 2 years off for good behavior
Back in the neighborhood working for the savior
Every night the same old siren sound
Ah bau bau, put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Though he walks through the shadows he won't fear his neighbor
Ah put it in
Back in the neighborhood working for the savior
Ah bau bau, put 'em bop
Ah put it in
There is death everywhere, the new benediction
Ah put it in
Walking through the fields of the lost inhibitions
Back in the neighborhood working for the savior
Well, a new sun and a second chance
That's two old ladies and a junkie now, now
Bau, bau, put it on back
He unbolts the door and hops over the fence
Ah bau bau, put it ooh bop
Ah, bau bau, ya ya
There's a whole lotta trouble all around

Back in the neighborhood working for the savior
Young woman with a baby that her daddy gave her
A bau bau, ya ya

Ah put it in
