Hit the ground in Nicetown then south to Monterrey;
Owned the dish in B-more, and I heard them every day:
"You Gotta Take That Curve, boy!"
"You Gotta Take That Curve!"

​

Brought up to the big show, Flatbush in the Spring;
Mighty hooks a-comin', Leo tells me "Hold your swing!"
"You Gotta Take That Curve, boy!"
"You Gotta Take That Curve!"

​

Everybody tellin' me to lay off Uncle Charlie,  
But I  can see the break just fine;
I'll knock it, if it suits me, to the Q Street station on the Brighton line.

​

Ten straight years wearin' blue, earned me best of the best ;
Bedford Ave's in the rear view mirror, now we're heading west;
Come on and bring that Curve!
I'm gonna sting that Curve!

​

I'm gonna smash that Curve!
I wanna crash that Curve!

​

Go on and hang that Curve!
I'm gonna bang that Curve!

​

Roy!
Don't take that curve!!!
