This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier, yeah
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
Well he's in Indian town, and what spots his eye?
A nice looking Indian, and honey looked fly
He had to talk because he just couldn't hack it
She wore some moccasins and plus a tough leather jacket
He trotted over and invented a line
He said, "Excuse me, um, do you happen to have the time?"
All was on his mind was sex, sex, sex
So she said, "Why do ask? You got your own Timex"
To poor old Dave that line was cold blooded
It seemed like her ego was way over flooded
She started to laugh and then she started to say
"I'm sorry some times I do get carried away
I didn't mean to like, ill treat you"
"My name is Running Rabbit and I'm glad to meet you"
He said, "I'm Dave, with crazy clout"
She said, "Oh, you're the one the girls keep talking about
Yeah, you must be, because you look like a winner"
Come to my house, we'll discuss it over dinner
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
Well, he met her father, big chief Beretti
He said, "What's for dinner?"
Soup and spaghetti
The dinner was rotten and he thought he's gonna puke it
He never would have took it if he'd known that he had cooked it
Later on they was chilling, in the bedroom
Sittin' by the window looking on the moon
Nothin' was being said, so he swore she was hot
He said, "Are you in the mood?"
She said, "No, I'm not"
From what he believes and from what he gets
If a girl says no, he really thinks she means yes
So, he started touching her and coming out strong
Whispering sweet nothings and singing a song
He said, "I'm in the mood for love"
"Simply because you're near me"
"Funny but when you're near me"
"I'm in the mood, don't mean to be rude"
"But I'm in the mood for love"
She said, "Oh, Dave, you've got my poor back hurting
I want you, first close the curtain"
He closed the curtain and also the doors
The next thing you knew it was off with those drawers
"Take it easy Davy "
"You're hurting me"
"Stop"
Well, he was playing with her titties, they were soft not lumpy
And then he cracked the legs like Humpty-Dumpty
He's fucking, sucking, also finger popping
He had, no intention of stopping
Crazy fun, he did not want to leave
His head was between her tits and he could barely breathe
He had to toss, turn, turn, toss
Meanwhile he was riding her with crazy force
She was burning hot, she said, "Stop, stop"
He said, "Are you talking sex or what?"
I guess she didn't realize what she started
Next thing you knew she was acting retarded
She said to him strangely and kind of merry
"Stop now, or I'll be unable to marry"
He didn't take her warning, he rode her 'til the morning
He rode that ass 'til the pussy started yawning
He said, "What?", Wait his dick went weak
It said, "Dave, pussies ain't supposed to speak"
He gathered his things he wanted to leave this place
But first he wanted to see the vagina face to face
He opened it up, with his bare two thumbs
He seen crabs with spears and Indian drums!
They was goin', hey-ya, hi-ya, hey-ya, hi-ya
Hey-ya, hi-yah, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hi-yah, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hi-yah, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hey, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hey, hey-ya, hey
Hey-ya, hi-yah, hey-ya, hey

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
