Poo Poo La La Songtext
von Roy Ayers

Let me kiss you on your poo-poo la-la
Let me kiss you on your poo-poo la-la

She was the kind of woman that would trim
Your toenails at 5 o′clock in the morning
She was honest, loyal, sincere, dedicated, understanding
She was everything a man could ever want a woman to be
She was everything to me and she was my woman
I can remember the first time we met in New York City, in Central Park
I was wearing a pair of white sneakers, and a pair of white shorts
And I had a white t-shirt on with the inscription
That read in the front of it: "Earth, Wind & Fire"
You could not tell me that I was not good to go


Oh, we got married
Two days later we got married and
Everything was cool, for about four years
And that's when the other voices came into the picture
You know what I′m talking about when I say "the other voices"
You know, Mary said that Roy was running
Around with Harriette and Beverly
And we got back to the homefront

And me and my old lady started going through a
Repetitious cycle of splitting up and coming back together
And splitting up and coming back
Together, until it just got ridiculous

You know what she said?
She said, "Roy?"
I said, "Yo"
She said, "Roy, if you don't stop playing that music, running all
Over the country like you're crazy or something, I′m gonna leave you"
I could not believe my ears
So I went outside and took a walk around the block
I came back in the house and I walked up to her, I said, "Come again?"

She said, "If you don′t stop playing that music, running all over
The country like you're crazy or something, I′m gonna leave you"
You know what I told her?
"Bye"

And I don't wanna sound cold, I don′t wanna sound hard
But you know, a man can only take so much


And that was too much for me
Let me go back, let me just forget about that negative thing
Let's go back to the positive
Remember when we were in the park, and we
Had a blanket, and we were laying in the park
I′ma tell you the first words I whispered in her ear
I pulled her close to me and I said these words to her
Check this out

Let me kiss you on your poo-poo la-la
Ooh, baby, you've got to let me kiss you, kiss you
Let me squeeze you on your dee-oh da-da
Ooh, baby, you've got to let me kiss you, kiss you
And I squeezed her real tight and I said
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Jill said, "Just don′t break your poo-poo la-la"
Yeah

Anyway, four years passed
And there I am sitting in my R-A-N-Y-C B-A-P-T
Roy Ayers New York City Bachelor Apartment
Doing my thing, minding my own business
As a matter of fact, I was looking at the television
And the telephone rang
At that time I had incorporated into my voice
Pattern what I call my "Barry White approach"
And I picked up the phone and I said, "Hello"

There was no answer, I said it once again, "Hello"
And this voice came on the phone, it sounded just like this

Time went by and we both learned
Ooh, lonely nights increased our pain

Don′t you think, don't you think, we should grow up?

Let′s rebuild our family tree
I still love you whether you're right or wrong
Ooh, baby, baby, poo-poo la-la means I love you, boy

Poo-poo la-la means I love you
Love you, love you, love you, boy
Poo-poo la-la means I love you
Won′t, won't you please listen to me?
Poo-poo la-la means I love you

I love you, yes I do
Poo-poo la-la means I love you
I love you tender, I love you sweet, poo-poo la-la
Poo-poo la-la means I love you
Poo-poo la-la means I love you
I love you, baby, yeah
Poo-poo la-la means I love you

Ooh, baby, don′t you know
Poo-poo la-la means I love you
I love you, I love you, more than you will ever know, babe
Poo-poo la-la means I love you
Sweet baby, sweet baby
Poo-poo la-la means I love you
Whisper in your ear
