Lyrics:

This is my, my dedication
A son to a father
From one to another
One to another
A brother to a brother
Cast your mind back
To black Africa
Little wooden ships
Crossing the ocean
Little wooden ships
Landing on the shoreline
The name of the place, Lord
Is New Orleans
Remember Jelly Roll Morton
Later Charlie Bird Parks
Traveling to the north, yes
Charlie Bird Parks
People going insane, yes
John Coltrane, Lord
But can you dig on his name now?
I say it's Roll On Kirk, now
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, yeah
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, Lord
Tell you one more time
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on, roll on Kirk, Lord
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, yeah
Watch him move
Every movement he speaks now
See his tender fingers
The strength in his cheeks now
He does a little dance
And he stomps both his feet now
Hear him moan and moan and blow
The bellows in his cheeks now
Come on, baby
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk
Go, baby
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, Lord
Come aboard his ship
It is a beautiful trip, Lord
You're welcome aboard, yes
Especially if you're hip, child
Watch him closely
While he makes love to the world now
He makes a woman aware of man
Ooh, a man of a girl now
Oh
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on, roll on Kirk, yeah
Ow
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Make 'em work, roll on Kirk now
Yeah, the captain's at the wheel, Lord
Take you on a trip, yeah
You've all got to answer
To the invisible whip now
It's driving me on, Lord
I've got to go further
Help me, sister
Help me, brother
Take my hand, yeah
And lead me to the man, Lord
Lead me to my father
Come on with me, brother
Mmm, children
Little bitty children, yeah
Mmm
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, Lord
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, Lord
Make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, Lord
Mmm
Everything has a dream
Everything has a scheme
Let's search for
The reasons to get, Lord
The reason to get, Lord
Mmm
Make 'em work, make 'em work, make 'em work
Roll on Kirk, make 'em work
Baby
Little bitty baby
