Your Name Is Snake Anthony - Medeski Martin & Wood

Back in 19 and 92

We were good, man

We were traveling all over Finland, England, we went over to London, too

We were up and down the Hudson river

We were shedding a lot;

we lived in our sheds

Go to church where the blinking light was

Park by the Olympic sized swimming pool

Snake Anthony knew Mr. William

Why, he could help you move your fine Chinese, if you needed them moved

He also helped us find the start of wind

What he really helped us find was,

To discover that we were the best

When Snake Anthony came out on the road with us

We went to the West of Highway 61, we didn’t go to the East

You can go to the West-South,

you can go to the East-North, no one ever does

They just want to go to Phoenix, to find the start of wind

If you go West of 61 you’re going to have to have tone,

you’re going to have to have time,

and you’re going to have to have space

And uuuh-huh, Snake Anthony was not a small Japanese woman

When Snake Anthony came out on the road with us,

We knew we were the best, the very best

When Snake Anthony came out on the road with us
