Hmm, oh my mellow man,
can't nobody thrill me like my mellow man can
He don't stand on no corner, he don't rob or steal
Comes home to me each day and gets his meals
Cryin', "Ho, oh", my mellow man
Can't nobody thrill me like my mellow man can
He ain't no organ grinder, he's just nice and sweet
I love that man from his head down to his feet
Cryin' "Ho, Oh" my mellow man
Can't nobody thrill me like my mellow man can
My man is so mellow, they call him spongy boy
That ain't his name, his name is plain Lee Roy,
Cryin', "Ho, oh" my mellow man
Can't nobody thrill me like my mellow man can
