Lyrics
Why Don't You Rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Big Momma said, why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
She said, where you get that frown, boy, why're you looking down
You see too many shadows when you're looking on the ground
She said, why don't you look up, before you run into stuff
And why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Where you get that frown, boy, why are you looking down
You see too many shadows when you're looking on the ground
She said, why don't you look up, before you run into stuff
And why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Big Momma said, life is just too short, boy, take a look around
You see too many people being buried in the ground
She said, why don't you rejoice, while you've got a choice
So why don't you rejoice, my boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Big Momma said, find yourself a girl, boy; buy her a string of pearls
Love and understanding are the best things in the world
Don't you ever give up, even when you run into stuff
And why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Where you get that frown, why are you looking down
Can't you see your friends being buried in the ground
Find yourself a girl; love and understanding are the best things in the world
Why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice, boy, why don't you rejoice
Why don't you, why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice, why don't you rejoice
Rejoice....
