Lyrics:

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot, in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
real hot,(oooohh yeeess)in the shade

Said it was 96 degrees in the shade
Ten thousand soldiers on parade
Taking iodine to greet the big fat sour one
Sent from overseas the queen implied
Excellency before you I come with my representation
You know where I'm coming from
You caught me on the loose fighting to be free
Now you show me a noose on the cotton tree
Entertainment for you but too dumb for me

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot, in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
real hot,(oooohh yeeess)in the shade


Some may suffer and some may burn
But I know that one day my people will learn
As sure as the sun shines,
Way up in the sky
Today i stand here a victim,
The truth is I'll never die

96 degrees in the shade
Real hot, in the shade
96 degrees in the shade
real hot,(oooohh yeeess)in the shade
