Bonnie Raitt-Trinkets

(Emory Joseph)



When I was a kid

I had a little record

I played it over and over 

each and every day.

Sung by a man

named Louie Armstrong.

Saint's marched right in from my Close and Play.



When I was a kid 

I had a little picture

and I looked at that picture 

all the time.

Painted by a man

Mama said his name was Vinnie.

A farmer sowing seeds on a really nice day.



Mom and daddies get a good idea what your babies like

to help 'em be happy 

like that guy named Mike.

Yeah that groovy old man that fixes my bike

Down there on 'Dumaine Street, New Orleans Louisiana.



When I was a kid

I had a little wiener dog

I loved that little wiener dog

and she loved me.

Spent warm spring days feeding that little wiener dog

Ripe sweet cherries from our cherry tree.



(An') if I ever get older, if I ever die.

If I get to a gate at the end of the sky.

And a beautiful creature says

Now Bonnie what do you want?

Might say a record and a picture and a wiener dog swear to God.



Mom and daddies get a good idea what your babies want

To help 'em be happy

like that ol' gal named Betty.

Yeah that groovy old chick teaches Tai-Chi on the levee.

Rain or shine she's out there she's dedicated.

She wrinkled but she

lovely.

She flexible and don't you wish we all were flexible enough to

dance now?



Dance little children now

The whole round world is your neighborhood.

Dance little children now

nekkid as a Jaybird.

Dance little children now

The whole round world is your neighborhood.

Dance little children now

nekkid as a Jaybird.



They're just trinkets.

Little stepping stones

to let you know you was here.
