Default Oscar Brown Jr.

One of the greatest jazz artists of all time. He did it all - wrote lyrics & music, and sang it too! Here's one of my faves - 'Mr. Kicks'. It's a forboding warning to those who are after 'kicks' for 'kicks' sake...give a listen, I think you'll like it.

Mr. Kicks
PERMIT ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF,
THE NAME IS MISTER KICKS.
I DWELL IN A DARK DOMINION
WAY DOWN BY THE RIVER STYX.

THE DEVIL SENT ME HERE
BECAUSE I`M FULL OF WICKED TRICKS,
AND I`M SUCH A POPULAR FELLOW
AMONG ALL YOU LUNATICS.

I TEACH A COURSE IN RUINATION
FROM THE DEVIL`S TEXT TO FOLKS
WHO CAN`T WITHSTAND TEMPTATION;
STEP RIGHT UP YOU`RE NEXT.

I HAIL FROM A HOT OLD HELL HOLE
DOWN ALONG THE RIVER STYX.
ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF,
THE NAME IS MISTER KICKS.

WHEN AN OLD WOLF STARTS TO PROWLIN`
OUT AMONG THE YOUNG LAMBS HOWLIN`,
DON`T YOU KNOW HE`S LOOKIN` FOR KICKS?

WHEN A YOUNG CAT FULL OF SLY TRICKS
SPENDS HIS EVENINGS CHASIN` FLY CHICKS,
TEN TO ONE HE`S LOOKIN` FOR KICKS.

KICKS IS ALWAYS IN DEMAND
`CAUSE KICKS IS FULL OF FUN AND LAUGHTER,
LOTS OF FOLKS GET OUT OF HAND
BECAUSE IT`S ONLY KICKS THEY`RE AFTER.

SHADY LADY AND HER LOVER
OPERATIN`UNDER COVER,
SHE KNOWS SIN AND VIRTUE DON`T MIX.

MAMA RAISED HER PRIM AND PROPER,
NOW WILD HORSES COULDN`T STOP HER
WHEN SHE`S ON A MANHUNT FOR KICKS.

JUST KICKS, LOOKIN` FOR KICKS. FOR KICKS,
NOTHIN` BUT KICKS.

I`M SATAN`S SINFUL SERVANT SENT TO GET YOU
IN A FIX, SO LOOK ME UP MOST ANY TIME,
THE NAME IS MISTER, THE NAME IS MISTER,
THE NAME IS MISTER KICKS!
