James Brown
Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag [’98 Version]
In 1965 and now, this is the sound!

Come here, sister
Papa's in the swing
Ain't too fancy
He's fine and mighty clean

I said, ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag

Oh, come here, mama
And dig this crazy scene
Alright, funky and clean

Ain't no drag
Still a brand new bag, ah

Go, aaahhh!
He's doing The Jerk
He's doing The Fly
Don't be ashamed
You know he ain't shy
Doing The Monkey, ah, The Mashed Potatoes
Jump back Jack, see you later, alligator

Come here, sister
And dig this crazy tune, ha!
Let me have it
I wanna move
Pink, oh Pink, ow!
Yeah, uh-ah-ow!
Sometimes I clown uh, ah
Back up and do the James Brown
Now hit it, now hit it! Ow!
Excuse me while I do the boogaloo
Hit me!

Hit me, Pink! Hit me now!
