[Verse 1]
Come here, sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip
About that new breed thing

[Chorus]
He ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag

[Verse 2]
Come here, mama
And dig this crazy scene
He's not too fancy
But his line is pretty clean

[Chorus]
He 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
'Cause you know he ain't shy
He's doing The Monkey, The Mashed Potatoes
Jump back Jack, see you later, alligator
[Verse 2]
Come here, sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip now
But I can dig the new breed thing

[Chorus]
He ain't no drag
He's got a brand new bag

[Bridge]
Well, Papa, he's doing The Jerk
Papa, he's doing The Jerk
He's doing The Twist, just like this
He's doing The Fly every day and every night
The thing, like The Boomerang

Hey!
Come on, hey hey!
Come on, hey hey!
Said you're uptight, you're out of sight
Come on, see what you know
Come on, see what you know
I just want you to blow, Maceo
Hey!
[Maceo Parker saxophone solo]

Come on
Get loose, hey
Blow your horn!
Blow your horn!
Blow your horn!
Blow your horn! Blow your horn!
Blow your horn! Blow your horn! Again!

Now, let me, let me tell you what he doing
He's doing The Jerk, doing The Fly
Don't play him cheap
'Cause you know he ain't shy
He's doing The Monkey, The Mashed Potatoes
Jump back Jack, see you later, alligator
Come here, sister, hey
Mmm-hmm, hey
Come on now
