Meters, The - Hey Pocky A-Way Lyrics
Little bitty boy, with a heart of steel
You can't boogie now but your sister sure will
Feel good music, I've been told
Good for your body and it's good for your soul
Gonna do it now
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Lie back grooving, riding in your car
Makes no difference where you are
Feel good music in your soul
Makes your body do a slow boogie roll
Let me hear you say
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Big chief
Spy boy
Uptown ruler
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Huh
Big chief
Keep on grooving
Keep on getting
Lie back grooving, riding in your car
Makes no difference where you are
Feel good music, I've been told
Good for your body and it's good for your soul
Gonna get it now
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, pocky a-way
Uptown ruler
Bayou on the bayou
Everybody sing
Hey, pocky a-way
Hey, pocky a-way
Hey, pocky a-way

On your worst day, this song will bring life to anything you're going through!!
Great track but the Ed Marimba drum riff seems to have been lifted wholesale from Captain Beefheart's 1972 track Nowadays a Woman's Gotta Hit a Man.......here's a link.......

RIP Art Neville! New Orleans made, New Orleans own, but worldwide legend!!
THE FUNKIE METERS OF NEW ORLEANS THE MUSIC MAN
"He thrusts his fist against the post, he still insists he sees a ghost". Props to the Beastie Boys (B-Boy Bouillabaisse) for turning me on to all kinds of music. Love finding music from samples!
The bluesy piano(?) in this reminds of the piano riff in Rock The Casbah. Like the piano part at the beginning of this and some parts throughout.
Taught me how Funk Bass works ...easy Less is More, placed right all night so tight.
Early memory: my two big sisters roller skating up and down the parade route in Metairie to this song.
Back den wen music was sweet .well party to this song in my sweet island of trinidad good times .
Grateful Dead did a great version of this one
Going to Nola right now
this beat... this message...this tune always lifts me.... ;)
Ya know you're from New Orleans if......
your team gets robbed of a chance to compete in the Super Bowl and instead of going out into the streets and burning cars and wrecking store fronts, we organize not one, but numerous Super Bowl Boycott parties with the biggest raising over $57,000.00 for the local recreation department.
Who Dat! We Dat!

Eric David O'Riordan grateful dead anyone?
Where yat? If ya grew up down here it's amazing the number of Funky Meters songs you can sing by heart without actually knowing the names of a lot of them. This is NewOrleans music and more properly Creole and not Cajun, but for a long long time standard radio fare all over Francophone Louisiana. Fantastic stuff.
(He says while wheezing to catch his breath, after answering the call to lock himself in the office bathroom and dance like a madman while listening to this song on a headset. He ain't Michael Jackson, but that don't matter because in French Quarter dancing you're _expected_ to look absurd. Bourbon Street is the only place in the world where you can dance in the middle of the street with a rubber chicken tied on a string around your neck, and people will not only see you as normal, but will come out in the street to dance with you.)
Reminds me of my homey from "The Easy" Clarence William Collins III, RIP brother -I'm keeping the good times alive
Idris sang it better.
I have this LP. DH has gone to bed, but I'm still up getting funky!

barbara brown it's about the Mardi Gras Indians( big chief, spy boy, flag boy )in New Orleans a long tradition in many N.O neighborhoods they match through the different neighborhoods chanting and repping the different tribes, hey pocky way is one of the chants
SCOTTY H -Thank you for educating me on this.
Wow. This song has been crazy popular in my country (Trinidad and Tobago) since I was in my teens--a loooong time ago. No party is complete without this song to this day. And I NEVER knew what it meant. Thanks for the education.
It means "get out the way"
"Hey Pockey Way." Good for the soul!
Happy Mardi Gras 2017!

@Lanceton Loew Do what makes you happy man ;).
Wherever the French people go or populated long ago they took the pre Lenten celebration of Carnival with them. It did not start in Brazil. Lot's of French people went to Brazil and now they have the biggest Carnival. Lot's of French people went to Trinidad(where I am from) and it is big. the biggest in the Caribbean.
@Patrick MacFetters hope you weren't a part of that damn tornado that hit a few days ago fam
No offense, but who says 'I hope to get to Mobile for Mardi Gras next year.?' Answer: Nobody
LIKE!!!!!!!
love dat funky butt music!
outstanding band...outstading record of this band...=) the whole LP's is pretty different from the rest of the Meters stuff..
