The record company started as an adjunct to that, to give young composers their first recorded performances; to give young musicians their first debut on a recording. These are all things that big record companies would never touch because there is no money in it!

Bootleg
Chorus:
Bootleg, bootleg;
Bootleg, howl.
Bootleg, bootleg;
Bootleg, howl.
Take you a glass of water
Make it against the law.
See how good the water tastes
When you cant have any at all.
Chorus
Findin a natural woman,
Like honey to a bee.
But you dont buzz the flower.
When you know the honeys free.
Chorus
Suzy maybe give you some cherry pie,
But lord, that aint no fun.
Better you grab it when she aint lookin
cause you know youd rather have it on the run.
