Got to know supergroove
I said "Please Mr. Bankman, I need 10 grand to buy me back my car.
I can't give you no cookie, but if you give me the cash I'll buy you the whole jar."
He scratched his head, clicked his pen and looked me up and down
as he called for Security he leaned towards me slowly with a frown
"You gotta know to understand
Baby take me by my hand
I'll lead you to the Promised Land
You gotta know to understand."
I was driving late at night with my best girlfriend, her name was Tracy Trump
We took a left up at Norfolk and stopped the car after I hit a bump
I said "Don't cry baby, we were going so fast it probably didn't feel one thing."
As we were laying it to rest, the dog jumped up and started to sing
"You gotta know to understand,
Baby take me by my hand,
I'll lead you to the Promised Land,
You gotta know to understand."
I went out for a walk, I was wondering why my life was standing still
I went up to see the wise man, his cave was on the top of wise man hill
When finally I got there I saw the old man, he was standing on his head
I said "tell me bout the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and
The moon up above and the thing called love"...he said
"You gotta know to understand
Baby take me by my hand
I'll lead you to the Promised Land
You gotta know to understand."
"You gotta know to understand
Baby take me by my hand
I'll lead you to the Promised Land
You gotta know to understand."
