Intro: 
Real hot, in the shade 
96 degrees in the shade  
real hot, in the shade  

verse: 
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, in the shade  


verse: 
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, in the shade
