I'm putting it in your hand.
No.
Trumpy, don't shoot him!
Shut up! What did I say?
Money.

Percival! Percival!
Drop that sh*t.
Drop my sh*t right now.
What the f***'s wrong with
you? Put my money down!
Drop my sh*t.
Rooster!
What's happening?
Rooster!
Trumpy.
Come on, Wilbert.
Come on.
Percival.
Somebody call a doctor!
Rooster.
I'm out of here, fellas.
Are you okay?
Trumpy?
I'm gonna be okay.
You're okay.
Gonna go to Chicago,
We'll get out of here.
Got a new song.
I got a new song.
You gonna love it.
She stays alone
She stays in the coolest moods
Clearly Woman of the Year
She and all her girlfriends
They go out dressed to win
She comes back
to the cooler side of town
But she lives in my lap
She lives in my lap
She lives in my lap
Forever my fiance
She lives in my lap
Don't need no chain
She lives in my lap
I'll get the courage one day
Make me want you
Make me miss you
Then forget you
Girl remind me
Just who we are
We're oh-so-close
But yet so far
She lives in my lap
I'll get the courage one day
Sally B. Shelly.
I'm a star, remember.
Then I'm gonna hop on over
to New York City.
Honey, I am going
to travel the world!
Well, see you around,
Percival Jenkins.
Percival, it's Rooster. I got
something for you from Angel.
It's Rooster.
Percival.
Percival, open the door.
Open the door. Percival.
It's Rooster.
Every boy and girl,
woman to man
Percival.
When you feel you've done
about the best you can
The wagon come join the band
Vibrate
Percival.
Vibrate higher
Come on, man, you gotta go.
You got songs the whole world need
to hear. She would want that for you.
What about you? Man, I
gotta get my family back.
I see you dressed mighty nice.
Just right for Chicago.
Look at you.
Chicago.
God don't make no mistakes.
You ain't said nothing
slick to a can of oil.
Come on.
Come on, let's go.
All the world's a stage,
and all the men and women
merely players.
They all have
their exits and entrances,
each with
a specific role to play.
Can't survive
Right in the nick of time
didn't it blow your mind
Powerful, magnificent
and so divine
It's always there
Funny, it'll blow your mind
Angel made her exit.
And I made mine.
Once you're stretched out
in that speacurbox,
it's over.
Can't go back
and change anything.
You got one shot in this life.
What you all doing,
pretty girls?
See, Dad done went
and bought a new Cadillac.
Peaches and cream, peaches
and cream. Y'all like it?
Hi, Dad.
Yeah.
Come on, give me a hug.
Let's go tell your mama.
Something smells good.
What's for dinner?
When it's your turn
under the spotlight,
you've got to
give it your best.
Once you do that, you never
know, life might surprise you.
Martin, you are so fussy.
Here, take your brother.
What is that?
Daddy got a new record.
Oh, he did.
Girl, look at you.
Lord have mercy.
Hey.
Well, all right.
How y'all doing?
Yes, ma'am.
Looking mighty fine.
I've been around the world
Seen so many pretty girls
But I still get overwhelmed
When I look in your eyes
Been from Maine to Spain
But everything seems the same
I only feel a change
When I look in your eyes
I know you're upper-class
I know you've got pizzazz
Every man wanna kiss your...
And I do, too
Rooster!
Hey, you know what?
I'm so happy to see you.
Well, it was fun
while it lasted.
Hold on. What you doing?
Don't leave me here!
Tell me what's a man to do
to get close to you
I'm just a lonely fool
When I look in your eyes
Don't tell me no this time
If you do, it'll blow my mind
Have you ever seen
a grown man cry?
It's an awful thing
I guess it's time
to say goodbye
But I gotta give it
one more try
I'm only satisfied
When I look in your eyes
Oh, please come home with me
I'm even gonna love your feet
When they stink
How can I?
How can I let you down?
I guess I'm always
gonna be around
I'm simply astounded
When I look in your eyes
Ain't nobody
like my style
Yeah
I light my fire, yeah
I light my fire,
I light my fire
They blow it out, yeah
They blow it out,
they blow it out
And don't nobody
Gonna feel like that
No
Monkey's on my back, bro
Now, watch them all fall
Go on, fall
Look out
Nobody wanted to dance
When I had a lot of
time on my hands
Now I gotta lot of
hands on my time
a friend of mine
Whoa, whoa,
I wouldn't mind a friend
The fellas back home
all trying to win
Moon keeps shining
on bootleg bottles
Cops in the street
Keep your feet on the throttle
Selling what they got
I can't afford a model
Yelling "Go, PJ, go"
Ain't nothing idle
Everything is wild, yeah
You can be here, now, yeah
Soon as you turn around
Be in the ground, yeah
Four, five,
six feet underground
And ain't no Bible
at this here Church, no
You won't find God, no
Might meet him first, oh
Oh, God, look out
Nobody wanted to leave
House so packed
that we couldn't even breathe
And ain't no better place
to fall in love
Angel sent from heaven above
Swing down
and come change your life
You might make a baby
Might meet your wife
But watch your thing
that you're gonna say
Deep down South,
there's a little old place
They're mighty wild cats
and they don't play
Don't make me send a telegram
to Rooster, he'll shoot you
Say, whoa, Mammy
Whoa, Mammy
Say, whoa, Pappy
Whoa
Everybody get up
No, no, no, no, get down
Everybody get up
No, no, no, no, get down
Everybody get up
No, no, no, no, get down
Everybody get up
No, no, no, no, get down
