Lyrics
Lil Sonny Boy Hisself
By Larry Heyl 2009
Some folks suck and
Some folks draw
Ya know ya got to blow it
When you get the call
Some play slow and
Some play fast
But me I play half fast
That's half fast
(Half assed?)
Half Fast!
(Half what?)
Lemme tell ya now boys there ain't nobody else
Can blow that thing like Lil Sonny Boy hisself.
Some girls fast and
Some girls slow
Some guys quick and
Some stuck on go
Now if you wanna know
The speed I go
It's just about half fast.
That's half fast
(Half assed?)
Half Fast!
(Half what?)
Lemme tell ya now boys there ain't nobody else
Can blow that thing like Lil Sonny Boy hisself.
Well a Mississippi Sax
Is an old Blues harp
With a man outside
Just a pouring out his heart
He blows those Blues
So nice and slow
But me I play half fast.
That's half fast
(Half assed?)
Half Fast!
(Half what?)
Lemme tell ya now boys there ain't nobody else
Can blow that thing like Lil Sonny Boy hisself.
