Hi!
I tried to transcribe Tina Turner's ad-lib at the end of Living For The City (Stevie Wonder wrote it and sang it first), but I can't make out some words. I want to know her words from minute 3:25 on. youtube.com / watch?v=I9yfkGRlE_c (I can't post a link. Please delete the blank spaces.) They ain't hardly got no ... They know ... Hardly a roof over their head |

I think her words are:
They ain't hardly got no pause on their back Ain't no covers on their bed Hardly a roof over their head |

"ain't hardly got no clothes on their back" would fit in with the original song lyrics more?
(Her clothes are old, but never are they dirty) |

Thank you. I was wondering if the word is "poles" or "pause". But now I'm convinced that it is "pulls" (short for "pullovers").
