Manny don't need no comforting 

He don't ask of the world to bring him up 

Ain't gonna see him waitin' on waitin' on 

Waitin' on the day 

Got him a chair in '73 

It was his only option 

So manny agreed 

Same chair he has today 

Since they threw the cane away 

Manny wasn't doing nothing 

He just doing his own thing 

You know it getting pretty cold out 

By the jub jub swing 



Oh this friend today 

Right me up 

Oh this friend today 

Right me up 

I'm not so weak 



Manny gonna go where the rabble go 

He gonna roll down the world 

And he bring me up 

Ain't going to see him 

Giving into the others way 

Cause they may beat us in search 

But our fall is unstained 

You know he says it won't be long 

Till we are up again 

Having another swing 

And manny wasn't doing nothing 

He just doing his own thing 

Yah know it gettin' pretty cold 

But he the one who bring 



Oh this friend today 

Right me up 

Oh this friend today 

Right me up 

I'm not so weak 



'cause the bottles not empty 

'cause your voices are all there 

My life will fight in my body for air 

'cause the bottle's not empty 

'cause your voices are all there 

My life will fight in my body for air 



Oh this friend today 

Right me up 

Oh this friend today 

Right me up 

I'm not so weak 



Manny we gonna get that a.m. dial just right 

I'll hold that hanger up 

As long as the sox put up a fight
