6. The great Allen Toussaint
performed this tune (his composition) as part of the NBA All-Star Game half-time show a couple of months ago. There was no doubt in my mind as to why he chose it.

And this video is great - very uplifting, and fonky as hell!

BTW, who knew Obama could dance like that?!?! I wouldn't need to bowl if I could dance like that!!

9. Why can't we if wana to, yes we can, can!
Now's the time for all good men
to get together with one another.
We got to iron out our problems
and iron out our quarrels
and try to live as brothers.

And try to find a piece of land
without stepping on one another.
And do respect the women of the world?
Remember you all have mothers.

We got to make this land a better land
than the world in which we live.
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give.

I know we can make it, I know that we can.
I know darn well we can work it out.

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, oh why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can

I know that we can make it work,
I know we can make it if we try.

and yes we can, I know we can can,
yes we can can

Good Gosh AlMighty

and yes we can, I know we can, can

And we gotta take care of all the children,
the little children of the world.
'cause they're our strongest hope for the future,
the little bitty boys and girls.

We got to make this land a better land
than the world in which we live.
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give.

I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know darn well we can work it out.

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can.

I know we can make it work,
I know that we can make if we try

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can, and yes we can can

I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know darn well we can work it out.

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can.

I know we can make it work,
I know we can make it if we try

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can,
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can
and yes we can, I know we can can
why can't we? If we wanna, yes we can can

If we only try....sometimes its hard
Sometimes its hard, sometimes its hard.

Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, why can't we?
If we wanna, yes we can can

I know we can make it, I know darn well we can work it out.
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
Yes we can can, if we get together,
we can work it out.

Now's the time for people to come together as an equal
Take the burden off your brother
gotto love one another
There are so many needs, and so many poor,
but love and understanding is the key to the goal

How can you sit there
like there's nothin' to do,
Just like you just don't care what your world is gonna do, Lawd!

Like people say,
No matter how hard,
If there's a will, there's a way

I know we can make it, I know that we can
I know darn well we can work it out.

Oh yes we can, Yes we can can?
If there's a will there's a way
