It’s Chuck Prophet!

I thought it was time to venture out and see what’s up in this swingin’ music town so I shimmied on down to the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis last night to see the great Chuck Prophet spin his tales of redemption, livin’, lust and love.  Wonderful songs by a charismatic performer along with an attentive and appreciative audience (how’s that for alliteration) buoyed the spirits and soothed the soul of this particular member of the audience.

‘Course, I couldn’t help but snap a few pics – here he is, the incomparable Chuck Prophet!

You Did (Bomp Shooby Dooby Bomp) (from the album “The Age of Miracles”, 2004)

I got a letter this morning

I got a letter this morning

Who put the bomp

In the bomp-shooby-dooby-bomp?

Who put the ram

In the rama-lama-ding-dong? You did

I got a letter this morning

Who put the bomp

In the bomp-shooby-dooby-bomp?

Who put the ram

In the rama-lama-ding-dong? You did

You did

I got a letter this morning

Wake me up if I should drift away

I don’t wanna miss a thing

Take my hand and lead me all around

I don’t care where we’re going

Who dug the crude and made it flow?

Who proved that anything was possible?

You did

I got a letter this morning

Who built the house and brought it down?

Who raised the roof and never made a sound?

You did

You did

I got a letter this morning

Wake me up if I should drift away

I don’t wanna miss a thing

Take my hand and lead me all around

I don’t care where we’re going

I got a letter this morning

I got a letter this morning

Who rose right out of the morning mist

Opened my heart like a baby’s fist?

You did

I got a letter this morning

Who cleared the static and made it sing?

Who put the wheel on the gravy train?

You did

I got a letter this morning

You did

Wake me up if I should drift away

I don’t wanna miss a thing

I got a letter this morning

Take my hand and lead me all around

I don’t care where we’re going

I got a letter this morning

Who put the bomp

In the bomp-shooby-dooby-bomp?

Who put the ram

In the rama-lama-ding-dong?

Who put the wang

In the wang-dang-noo, baby?

You did

I got a letter this morning

I got a letter this morning

I got a letter this morning

I got a letter this morning

I got, I got a letter this morning

Who put the flip in the flippity-flop?

Who put the hip in the hippity-hop?

Who put the boom

In the boom-boom-shaka-laka? You did

I got a letter this morning
