I've the tiniest confession I distinctly loath suppression Since I only have one life I want to live it Well I've clowned around a lot Well I've found what hits the spot If I've something good to give I want to give it Now those censors say I'm naughty and no dice But I've heard it said what's naughty can be nice It's not what I say, it's the way that I say it That's all brother, that's all It's not what I play, it's the way that I play it That's all brother, that's all Now maybe they'd picture me as little Snow White With seven dwarves to entertain I should do all right But should I ask to concentrate on one dwarf a night That's all brother, that's all It's not what I tell, it's the way that I tell it That's all brother, that's all It's not what I sell, it's the way that I sell it That's all brother, that's all They'd have me play that little girl all dressed in red I'd make a good red riding hood somebody said But should they find me with a wolf in my grandmother's bed That's all brother, that's all Now please don't misunderstand me I take much of what they hand me Though it cramps my style I'll never be defeated Since I've always found response Well, I know what the public wants And just as long as there's a West It won't be cheated While my censor friends are turning both thumbs down Just like many I'll still kick that guy around It's not what I wear, it's the way that I wear it That's all brother, that's all It's not what I share, it's the way that I share it That's all brother, that's all I like a love scene that's as hot as can be So they said Cinderella played one something to see But if they think a fairy prince can play games with me That's all brother, that's all It's not what I know, it's the way that I know it That's all brother, that's all It's not what I show, it's the way that I show it That's all brother, that's all They'd have me portray that maiden so sweet That girlie with the mortgage due and little to eat But if I call to the butcher boy to bring me some meat That's all brother, that's all
