Otis Redding
Papa’s got a brand new bag - single version
[Verse 1]
Come here, sister
Papa's in the thing
Ain't too hip
On that new breed thing
It ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag

[Bridge]
He's doing The Jerk
He's doing The Fly
Don't play him cheap
You know he's not shy
He's doing the fly
The Mash Potato, The Alligator
Jump back, Jack
See you later, alligator

[Verse 1 repeated]
Come here, sister
Papa's in the thing
Ain't too hip
On that new breed thing
Ain't no drag
Papa's bought himself a brand new bag
[Bridge]
Come on now, hey hey
Come on, he's out of sight
He's uptight
Come on and groove
Oh, you're out of sight
Papa, got it, got it
Soul man, soul
Groovin', he's uptight
He outta sight
Mister Redding, that's my name
Got it, yeah

He's doing the Twist
He's doing the fly
Don't play him cheap
You know he's not shy
The Mash Potato, the Alligator
Jump back Jack
See you later, alligator

[Verse 1 repeated]
Come here, sister
Papa's in the thing
Ain't too hip
On that new breed thing
Ain't no drag
My mammy's got a brand new bag
[Outro]
Come on now, hey hey
Comin', comin'
Got it, I got it
