Lyrics:
The police made their midnight rounds
To clear out the riff raff and shut us down
But as soon as The Man was around the bend
Rufus and me, we’d fire it up again
He was a brother from Harlem with a saxophone
He sure could make that mother moan
Lay down the blues, so thick and fat
I thought I was a pretty cool cat
But my six strings could never bleed like that
And we’re calling Rufus
Have you seen my brother Rufus?
Now the big, bad city comes alive
And the beautiful people shuck and jive
They hit the streets at the break of day
Just a cracker brigade on the great white way
But they all stand still to hear the black man play
And we’re calling Rufus
Have you seen my brother Rufus?
Where the hell is Rufus?
I got a hell of a groove, but I can’t find Rufus
Rufus let ‘em know what time it is
I’m lookin’ for mine, and I hope he gets his
Livin’ is good when you don’t stay long
Rufus was good for just one more song
Now that was a long time ago
I’d give a hundred dollars just to know
Does he still blow it loud and long and mean?
Does he make more money than I’ve ever seen?
Or did he just bow down to the Big Machine?
And we’re calling Rufus
Have you seen my brother Rufus?
Where the hell is Rufus?
I got a hell of a groove, but I can’t find Rufus
