Ease On Down The Road #1 Song Lyrics


(Duet with Michael Jackson)

Ease on down

Ease on down the road

Ease on down

Ease on down the road

Ease on down

Ease on down the road

Come on Dorothy,

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on

There it is!

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 nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down, down the road

Pick your left foot up

When your right foot's down

Come on legs keep movin'

Don't you lose no ground

You just keep on keepin'

On the road that you choose

Don't you give up walkin'

'Cause you gave up shoes, no

Ease on down, ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

'Cause there maybe times

When you think you lost your mind

And the steps you're takin'

Leave you three, four steps behind

But the road you're walking

Might be long sometimes

You just keep on steppin'

And you'll be just fine, yeah

Ease on down, ease on down the road

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the road

Don't you carry nothing that might be a load

Come on, ease on down, ease on down the

Oh, there maybe times

When you wish you wasn't born

And you wake one morning

Just to find that your courage's gone

But just know that feeling

Only last a little while

You just stick with us

And we'll show you how to smile, yeah

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, get 'em up, ease on down the road

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, goin' down, ease on down

Get 'em up, get 'em up, ease on down the road

What does The Wiz symbolize?

In this context, the story in “The Wiz” of Dorothy's trip from Kansas to the Emerald City can be taken as a metaphor for the great migration, its wonders and dangers. The old folks used to warn the young people coming north about the immorality of the loose‐living blacks in the cities. Thus the Yellow.
