Lyrics:
Come on and ease on down ease on down the road
Come on and ease on down ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothin that might be a load
Come on ease on down ease on down the road
Come on and ease on down ease on down the road
Come on and ease on down ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothin that might be load
Come on ease on down ease on down the road
Pick your right foot up
Put your left foot down
Let your legs keep moving
Don't you lose no ground
Cause the road your walking
Might be long sometimes
But just stick with me and you'll
Be just fine
Come on and ease on down ease on down the road
Come on and ease on down ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothin that might be a load
Come on ease on down ease on down the road
Cause there may be times
When you wish you wasn't born
And you wake one morning
Just to find your courage gone
But just know that feeling
Only last a little while
So just stick with me and I'll show you how to smile
Come on ease on down ease on down the road
Come on and ease on down ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothin that might be a load
Come on ease on down ease on down
Ease on down ease on down
Ease on down ease on down
Ease on down ease on down
Ease on down ease on down
Ease on down ease on down the road

I love how The Wiz is so much closer to the book than The Wizard of Oz movie ever was.

[@kumada84]

Yes! Have you seen it on stage? If not, you need to. (You just might be able to find all kinds of illegal recordings of local and school production show on KZbin... lol) The stage version is possibly the closest adaptation of the book I know of. The TV movie was...not as bad as the 1978 movie, but still extremely "wrong". Changed too many things (as usual) and totally missed the point. The MGM movie is actually much closer to the book than the TV version of the Wiz was.

+Desmond Magi Yes but that was 1978

[@Windy4141]

Man, in this and the filmed stage TV version, you can barely hear Elijah Kelley over Shanice Williams. Kelley has an incredible voice, but it is incredibly weak in this number compared to his co-stars, and especially compared to the Michael Jackson version, which I'm sure was rearranged for the movie to wisely showcase him but I think serves as a better duet than this (original?) version.

[@lilt-dogg-3530]

you call Elijah Kelly by his last name all the time

[@astrowiz3544]

@@lilt-dogg-3530 its a writing technique you learn. Instead of saying their whole name everytime, you refer to them by their last name.

Okay, you all need to go read some tutorials on mixing vocals. The unnecessary Auto-tune and filtering on Shanice Williams's voice is literally making the bones in my skull crack. Thanks a lot.

[@lwclark96]

there's no auto tuning at all. that's her actual voice. lol

[@kumada84]

+Landon Clark Kiddo, if you're listening to a song that was recorded after 1998, you're hearing Auto-tune. It's done by default now. If it's done "well" _you_ may not be able to hear it, but a lot of people can, and it's very unpleasant.
