James Brown
Licking Stick - Licking Stick (Live at Memorial Auditorium, Dallas, 1968)
[Intro]
I wanna know do you feel alright?
Do you feel alright?

[Chorus]
OH! Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick, horn
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick

[Verse 1]
People standing
Standing in a trance
Sister out in the backyard
Doing the outside dance
Come and tell me the other day
She didn't want to be a drag
I don't know what you're doing
I bet she's got a brand new bag
[Chorus]
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring me that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick

[Verse 2]
Shorty gon' tell me, what is the latest sauce
With big feet right off the ground
Jump back, dance across the floor
Called himself doing the James Brown
Like the dance you're doing, the latest thing
Peepin' it now, when you talk
So jump back, dance across the floor
Caught you doing The Camel Walk

[Chorus]
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring me that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Get out there with your bad self, alright
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Maceo, alright, bring that licking stick
[Maceo Parker saxophone solo]

[Bridge]
People, people, I'm doin' my best to be your teacher
These are my latest outlooks
Got to get herself back in the mathematic books
Do you hear me? Do you hear me?
I wanna tell you one more time
I wanna tell you one more time
Students don't feel me, with the lazy stroke
When they get beaten and let off the ground
Jump back, dance across the floor
Called himself doing the James Brown
Like the dance you're doing, the latest thing
Peep it now, when they talk
Jump back, dance across the
Caught you doing the Camel Walk
Come on! Come on!
Come on, come on, come on!

[Chorus]
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
Mama, come here quick
And bring that licking stick
[Outro]
Licking stick, licking stick
Licking stick, lick...
