[James Brown]
Papa don't take no mess
Papa got soul, Papa got a heart, you go
Papa don't, Papa don't, Papa don't, hit me, hit me
Alright, OW!

Papa is a man who can understand
A man has to do what he has to do
Whatever he can
Papa is the guy who might seem shy
In an old baggy suit with a little skinny tie
Hey, hey, Lord

[Instrumental]
