The Manhattan Singers — I Was Born on the Day Before Yesterday (From "The Wiz") lyrics

Lyrics

I was born on the day before yesturday
I had holes in my shoes
and I was crying the blues
i didnt have no place to stay
but i know, i know im going to make this time
cause i know, i know im going to make it this time
I was boorrrrn on a hill not so far away
I had three rubberband and gloves for hands
and a suit that had been thrown away
they took the jacket and pants
found a brown paper bag
they had filled it with straw and to top of the drag
they gave me pencil in eyes and a pencil in nose
and they stuck me up there and said strike me a pose
