What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
Woah Woman, oh woman, don't treat me so mean
You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
I guess if you said so
I'd have to pack my things and go (That's right)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
Now baby, listen baby, don't ya treat me this-a way
Cause I'll be back on my feet some day
(Don't care if you do 'cause it's understood)
(You ain't got no money you just ain't no good)
Well, I guess if you say so
I'd have to pack my things and go (That's right)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
What you say?
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more)
(Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more)
Well
(Don't you come back no more)
Uh, what you say?
(Don't you come back no more)
I didn't understand you
(Don't you come back no more)
You can't mean that
(Don't you come back no more)
Oh, now baby, please
(Don't you come back no more)
What you tryin' to do to me?
(Don't you come back no more)
Oh, don't treat me like that
(Don't you come back no more)

100% Facts, the 1900’s music is bomb! Now music is either extremely inappropriate or really annoying, or like techno music, lots of rapping (rapping is great ngl), and there’s also like these pop songs that are okay, but like- 1900’s music hits different.

A great part of the music is taken from an Egyptian old song called ( Ya Alby Ya Khlay ) for Abd El-Halim Hafez , and the song was in a movie that was shot 4 yeas before this song. Here’s the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJzTiKR5dqyUq9k

@@cptobv that’s fair. Although I feel like part of that was because of the time. Back then he did things that were deemed controversial but wouldn’t be considered so today (playing for a desegregated crowd).
