When the sun comes up on a sleepy little town
down around San Antone
and the folks are risin' for another day
'round about their homes.
The people of the town are strange
and they're proud of where they came.
Well, you're talkin' 'bout China Grove, wo, oh, oh,
oh, China Grove.
Well, the preacher and the teacher,
Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town.
When the gossip gets to flyin' and they ain't lyin';
when the sun goes fallin' down.
They say that the father's insane
and dear Missus Perkin's a game.
We're talkin' 'bout the China Grove, wo, oh, oh,
oh, China Grove.
But ev'ryday there's a new thing comin',
the ways of an oriental view.
The sheriff and his buddies
with their samurai swords,
you can even hear the music at night.
And though it's part of the Lone Star State
people don't seem to care,
they just keep on lookin' to the East.
Talkin' 'bout the China Grove, oh, China Grove
The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band formed in San Jose, California, in 1969. Their sound, initially defined as rock with blues and country influences, later embraced elements of soft rock and pop in the 1970s. The name of the group derives from a slang term for marijuana. The original lineup included Tom Johnston (guitar, vocals), John Hartman (drums) and other musicians who joined over the years. Among the most notable members are also Patrick Simmons (guitar, vocals), Michael McDonald (keyboards, vocals) and Keith Knudsen (drums). The Doobie Brothers achieved international success with albums like "Toulouse Street" (1972), "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" (1973) and "Takin' It to the Streets" (1976). Their most famous songs include "Listen to the Music", "Black Water", "China Grove", "Long Train Runnin'", and "What a Fool Believes". The band has won four Grammy Awards and has sold over 48 million records worldwide. After several lineup changes, the Doobie Brothers reunited in 2019 with a lineup that includes Johnston, Simmons and Hartman.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
