Steppenwolf - Jeraboah lyrics

Words and music by J.Conrad

When Jeraboah was just a child

She used to drive the milkman wild

She'd steal his bottles to pay the rent

But I know that ain't where it went

Jeraboah, you're a fine lookin' lady

You can get what you want with a smile

Goin 'round makin' everyone crazy

With the love of a backstreet child.

Those years of livin' out in the streets

Make that Jerabo' so sweet

That even when she'd steal your pay

You'd just smile and have to say

Now that city has changed a lot

But some folks still just ain't forgot

How Jeraboah would laugh and play

Make the smile and have to say
