Ohio Players — Introducing the Players lyrics

Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, the Ohio Players
Sugar, who is a Pisces
The sign of the water
The fish that is strong enough to make it upstream
He’s our guitarist
Listen
Now you can hear a thud
Almost heart-shaking, pounding
That’s our bass player
Mr. Marshall Jones who’s a Capricorn
Mm-hmm, taps nice is a soulful way of saying
You know our drummer’s name is Tim Williams
He’s an Aries
Strong wrists, pulsating drum beats
You can hear them playing at you now
And our saxophone player, there he is
That’s me, my name is Satch and I’m also an Aries
The fire sign
We have a Leo next to me playing trumpet
Who very strongly is playing too
His name is Ralph Middlebrooks
Listen to him play that horn for you
We’d like to team up and do it
Now
Now there’s two more left
Tall statue of a man, his name is Marvin Pierce
And he’s a Cancer, he plays trumpet and trombone
Then there’s Mr. Bruce Napier who’s an Aries
Playing trumpet and French horn
Now that you’ve met the Ohio players
I would like for you to listen
As we join in together to
Listen to
We don’t know how to tell you what our music is about
Because we seem to feel different things as time travels forth
We want you to understand the fact that we play rock, bop, soul, blues
You know, music is a thing that we all need
And we hope you need The Ohio Players enough to listen to their very many styles
We have something on this album we hope will please each other
For openers, we love all people
