lyrics

Double feature drive in and
Drive by and Superfly
Footie pajama epiphany
Rueben has Cleo and
Mommy has kilos
But who is this brotha with Tiffany?

You know his bear hug
But in our house he was doodlebug

Doodle brings money to Mommy's top poppy shop
But doodle wants off the plantation
Doodle tells Mommy the poppy crop has got to stop
He wants out of this blaxploitation

You know his bear hug
But in our house he was doodlebug
You know his bear hug
But in our house he was doodlebug


So mommy squashed the doodlebug.
Squashed his boys pickle and fireplug.
But the good lord let tiffany get away.

Do not mourn doodle.
Murning is futile.
The brotha rose again.

And Lindy! Lindy!
Y'all act like you forgot about Lindy!
Lindy, Lindy! Don't forget:
"Honey: I am more man than you'll ever be
And more woman than you'll ever get."

Black do not crack though the brotha is older.
Make art as we stand on their shoulders.

It's all love for Doodlebug.

Buggy Jive Albany, New York

BUGGY JIVE is a soul rock singer-songwriter quietly uploading music from a basement somewhere in Upstate New York.

Equal parts Zeppelin and D’Angelo and Prince and Joni in sound and sensibility, his lyrics often mine the literature of the past to make sense of the present – from Ellison to Morrison to Eliot to Didion.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say. ... more
