Prince - 'Chelsea Rodgers' (live London 2007)

Prince
"Chelsea Rodgers" LIVE
Indigo Club, London
September 7th, 2007

Lyrics:
A model, used 2 be a role model
I dunno, come on, Chelsea, I dunno, come on
Go ahead now, Chelsea, go ahead now
This for Jersey right here, go ahead now

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled (yeah she did)
Kept her tears up in a bottle
She poured them out 2 save her soul

Ask her what she liked the most
She said she liked 2 talk 2 Jimi's ghost
Fantasy, a bragger's boast
Chelsea's fly like coast 2 coast
Hollywood or Times Square
If the party's fly, my girl is there (yeah she is)
Earth boots on and flowers in her hair
21st Century hippie, Chelsea don't care

Chelsea Rodgers was a model (well)
But she really rocked and rolled (yeah ahe did)
She kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out 2 save her soul

Try 2 catch her if U can (c'mon now, baby)
But U never see her with one man
'Cause they must be baptized according 2 the master plan
Before she give up the good thang, go 'head Chelsea (go 'head Chelsea)
No blood diamonds or designer chic (no no)
'Cause she's too original from her head down 2 her feet
U can hate if U want 2, Chelsea don't eat no meat
Still got butt like a letter C, go 'head Chelsea (go 'head Chelsea)

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled
She kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out 2 save her soul

Come on, Chelsea
Ah come on
Next to her, they just a fool
Chelsea read more books than a few (oh Chelsea)
Like Moses was a Pharaoh in the 18th Dynasty
And Rome was chilling in Carthage in 33 BCE
And the day that we stop counting
We live as long as a tree
Go ahead Chelsea, teach me
Go ahead Chelsea
Make a promise 2 your higher self
Get true knowledge then fame and wealth
U don't be chasing nobody's ghost
Of everything make the most (come on)

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled
She kept her tears up in a bottle (yeah ahe did)
Poured them out 2 save her soul

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled
Kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out 2 save her soul

Come on Chelsea
Keep that body moving
Come on Chelsea
Make that body move
Come on Chelsea
Keep that body moving
Come on Chelsea
Make that body move

Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Shake it like a Juicy Juice
Ohh ohh ah
Na, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
But she really rocked and rolled
Kept her tears up in a bottle
Poured them out 2 save her soul

Chelsea Rodgers was a model
Poured them out 2 save her soul

I always have the actual Prince video of this song on repeat! It's a jam and a favorite! Thanks for this live gem.👍🎶💜 🎶🎤🎶🎷🎶🎸🎶💜🎶

(not to anyone here... I'm just saying), Whenever I join Prince groups I end up leaving cos they act like Prince never cursed before or talked about sex… Hell, Prince is the reason that the government started putting warning labels on the albums to make sure that the albums stayed out of children's hands.. it was not NWA!
Prince is the only artist to win an award for the same song, 20 years apart…
the dude was a genius.
how many artists do you know that come from a small town, make it big, and stay in that small town? and throw concerts in their home….
Prince was the best!

Thanks a million for posting this, played it nonstop since I came across it and can only wonder what the live concert was like. He was a Legend, Genius and an inspiration. The greatest Musician of his time. May God bless him

One of many hits this is for the Black people cause Prince was one the funkiest artist to do it since Larry Graham to Parliament. But he knew his success relied on crossover first R&B second cause his first couple albums were funky as shit but didn't get him to Micheal Jackson status.
