[Fm] [E]
[Cm] [G] [Ab] [Eb]
[Eb]
[D] Dig, sit, cool the cause and let your [Eb] vote for who we're ready [Dm] to show you some flowin'
A-rumblin' and [C] stoppin' is a lot of [Bbm] fun for brothers who are blowin' a horn
[D] So settle down [Bbm] and listen cause you don't know what [Ab] you're missin' and we're ready to [F] get you a-showin'
A [Bbm]-movin' and groovin' in a jazz figure for [Eb] brothers who are blowin' a horn
We got a little [Ab] message that you're gonna [Em] enjoy and since [A] that's the fact
So settle in your [A] easy chair and if you ever had a give again [Gm] it's time to relax
[Fm] We might have been a bit of a mess [Eb] but we did it for you cause you're a good [A] showin'
We're [Db] gonna let you listen to us [Fm] one by one for [Eb] brothers who are blowin' a horn
[Bb] I had to do talkin' about you, it's very nice to know you [F] really take a touch and see me blow
[Fm] Cause it's just not [Eb] fun, I'm blowin' my [G] horn, sweet baby I'm blowin' it [Gm] all
And I hope you [F] think this song's a bit more than any other, now I must go [Fm] for a time for you to listen [Eb] to my other brother
[Ab] And if she's talkin' about [Em] me, I better [A] go and see
A bit [E] that she knows I've wanted very much for me, she's that's the reason [Eb] I'm a-blowin' so stampedly
[D] I don't know what she got but it fills me [Bb] and I hope to have a lot [Cm] cause it puts me [B] close
So baby, now if you'd like to take [Db] my other brother, you're gonna [Eb] have to turn the [Bb] record over
[Cm] Hey, who you talkin' [Bm] about, say who you talkin' [Bb] about
Did you [C] hear Sid introduce the other brother?
Who [F] knows the kids are headed talkin' about three, [E] [F] that's me
Listen, we do, I do, [E] how are you?
[C] Nothing's wrong
[Bb] How is everything?
Wow!
[D] What do you say I leave this jam?
Listen to my sister
[Abm] Dig, dig, dig my [Ab] Long Island style
[E]
Hold the [B] button you dial, you got me in a mood [D] so romantic
If you notice who can take the solo that [Bb] they call the magneto, the fact [Dm] that when I dig you
I'm sure you baby, you will never know how [Dbm] much I [F] really dig you
You got me so excited that I'm good, [Bb] blowin' my horn
[C] Getting around, we're really putting [Bb] it down, got a spectacle to enjoy, [G] now we wish we had the time to give you
[Eb] Thank you for the compliment, you know [Bb] the street was better just to know we didn't know [A] it
We're really the best of all [Bb] the rest in the modest group, [G] gang group, the feather poof
The hugs and the squeaks, [Dm] we're not the seal of the show, but we're [F] the coconut [Bb] that everybody loves
[Ebm] [Db] Back in day [B] boys, the natural fact, I ain't no inch, but [G] I would like to get [G] in the act
Well get out of here, get out of [C] here, get out of here now
Now is [Eb] we appreciate and make a new path
I [Dm] believe that I should do apologize, [Bb] but that's the ball they're down man
For brothers, [Eb] for [C] brothers, for [F] brothers
Although we sound like [A] [C]
[F] mothers, for brothers
We're really [Eb] on the [Abm] floor
We'd like to [Bbm] go but we don't know how time can [E] fly and how we're [A] gonna pass away
We wish the time would never [Am] go so we could take [D] our time [Gm] today
[A] For brothers, [C] for [Dbm] brothers, for [Ab] brothers
I just [Eb] want my own [Ab] way
Happy to know you, hope I don't forget [Gm] you
It's really a pleasure, hope I don't silly you
Hope the story [Ebm] did not upset you
Who do we owe the pleasure
[Bb] To just be pulling over, give us a simple confession
Let us show you how it is to be speaking of us, yeah
[Cm] We won't go [Bb] to slag if we're gonna [Fm] rock
Oh
[A] [Fm] [N]
