Donald Fagen - Out of the Ghetto lyrics

You've come a long way, baby From welfare and food-stamp lines You're moving on up And leaving poverty behind You've had a good education You've seen the best of the schools But when you take a drink The ghetto comes out of you I took you out of the ghetto I took you out of the ghetto I took you out of the ghetto But I could not get that ghetto out of you You're a foxy lady Your mama had a beautiful child You're built like a brick house And that's no lie When we go to the disco You drive the fellas wild When you shake your booty Ghetto-style I took you out of the ghetto I took you out of the ghetto I took you out of the ghetto But I could not get that ghetto out of you You're a hunk of raw sugar You got some real sweet hips Your love, your love, your love Is like a honey drip Your roots are in the mean streets That'll never change Ghetto mama Stay the same I took you out of the ghetto I took you out of the ghetto I took you out of the ghetto But I could not get that ghetto out of you Ghetto mama, don't you change Ghetto mama, stay the same
