Ry Cooder - Ufo Has Landed In The Ghetto Lyrics
(ry cooder & jim keltner)Lonesome outerspace invader blasting through the nightTuning in the soul music on the satelliteAll that low-down funky rhythm makes him jump and shoutJust got to find that ghetto planet that everyones talkin aboutTuning in the local scene on the radioThe d.j. on the radar screen is telling him where to goThe funky fevers getting louder, sounds just like a soul encounterCruisin for some bar-b-que right up central avenueAnd hes got a little dance he wants to doHe pulls up to a big night club in his ufoGets right in with all the folks out on the big dance floorIt really stops the action, everybodys mystifiedTo see that little step hes got as he goes glidin byNow, he aint doin the gigolo cause he aint got no hipsLooks like the funky chicken man, cept he aint got no hipsThose shiny metal threads hes wearin really got some classId say he was doin the bomp, but I cant seem to find his assNow, everybody fall in loveHes reet, hes neat, he cant be beatYou shake your shimmy like I shake mineHes hand held and hes jet propelledShake it up from sun to sunHes fast and loose, hes full of juiceShake it like an atomic bombHes got the goose so whats the useThat ufo has landed in the ghetto
