Black Kripple love story
Porgy singing to his lady
Love against all odds

Black kripple beggar
Took care of business
Made sure that they were together

Bess u is my woman
I loves you Porgy
Dealt with the public’s pressure

Today’s Porgy & Bess
Have to play chess
Filling out government boxes

Porgy was strong as an ox
Now beat down by Uncle Sam
Bess doing her best to love her man

They pass by singin’,
They pass by cryin’,
Always lookin’.
And they keep on movin’!

When God make cripple,
He mean him to be lonely.
Night time, daytime, He got to travel that lonesome road.
Night time, day time, He gotta travel that lonesome road.

Summer Time and The Living is not easy
Baby is crying because she is hungry
Porgy picked up on sit & lie city policy
Can’t make his money
Can’t provide for his family
Existing & fighting in poverty
Bess singing and crying

My man is gone now
The Po-po took him some how
Got him bowing down

Three strikes bail so high
Bess, back to the oldest occupation, selling her body
Just to get her man out of the penitentiary

I Got Plenty O’ Nothin’
Don’t need anything
Just give me my Porgy

Gentrification sweeping
Closed down Catfish Row
Here come those buzzards

Man & woman just working

Troubles are coming
Buzzards pack your things & fly from here
Porgy is young again look out all you politicians

It Ain’t Necessarily so
What is in the Bible It Ain’t Necessarily so
Everybody, queers kripples, all races

Jump over the broom get marry be happy

Bess I want her now
