Funky Girl On Motherless Broadway by Melvin Van Peebles Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes sometimes I feel
Don't come asking me where I been
I been vacationin'
For your information
[Verse 2]
This old motherless Broadway
You bitches nose is open
'Cause I got more white men
All Minnesota types too
Sometimes I feel like such a funky girl
[Verse 3]
Here here kitty here kitty
There just look at those big eyes
All full of sadness
Sometimes, sometimes I get so stoned
Please officer, please, I'm moving
She don't have a lease
On this sidewalk officer
She creates the havoc officer
I'm a girl of peace officer
Make way you all I'm coming through
You children sure are tired
[Verse 4]
Sometimes, sometimes I feel so superfluous
All that beg don't get none
Them that don't ask don't want none
Love for sale better spread than dead sugar
Motherless old Broadway
[Verse 5]
Yes love thank you, well
They say when you got it flaunt it
Style child is everything
Sometimes I feel so all alone
Two-bit Hepatitis carrying trick
Don't start me to reading
No lord, not even if you rubbed Saint John himself
All over it
I ain't gonna lie, poorly, baby, poorly
You better get yourself some friend
To start burnin' some candles for you
On this motherless Broadway
[Verse 6]
Hello hello, hello there
Is that smile, you did smile at me
Condescending or real
How about an Orange Julius
How about a hot dog too
With or without sauerkraut
There, good
You so young where you from
Really that's too funny to be true
Really you mean really
Don't con that's nasty
The orange and stuff is on me anyway
Is that true, Minnesota, oh that's funny
You're the cream in my coffee
That someone I'm longing to see
Just a little old funky me
[Verse 7]
The world is all scabs and broken needles
Unless someone cares for you anyway
We only live once anyway
You know what balling is
It's a poot in old death's face
Isn't that a giggle
I do like you a lot anyway
You're terrible, take my hand
Come, let's go to my place
And sit in old death's face
Just a funky girl
You're crazy, but OK
If you want
OK I'll race you there
You take a lead
I could beat you with heels on anyway
This old motherless Broadway
Here I come
Motherless old Broadway
Sometimes sometimes I feel
Don't come asking me where I been
I been vacationin'
For your information
[Verse 2]
This old motherless Broadway
You bitches nose is open
'Cause I got more white men
All Minnesota types too
Sometimes I feel like such a funky girl
[Verse 3]
Here here kitty here kitty
There just look at those big eyes
All full of sadness
Sometimes, sometimes I get so stoned
Please officer, please, I'm moving

I'm a girl of peace officer
Make way you all I'm coming through
You children sure are tired
