There Was A Time - James Brown, The Famous Flames

Uhh, lookie here, ha

There was a day, ha

There was a time, ha

When I used to dance, ha

There was a time, ha

When I used to prance

But dig me now, baby, ha

Don’t worry bout later

Dig the dance I used to do

They call the mashed potatos, hey

Uhh, ha, uhh

There was a dance

Now dig this, ha

There was a dance, ha

They call the jerk

Everybody relax

And watch me work, oww

Ha, in my home town

Where I used to stay

The name of the place, ha

Is Augusta, GA

Down there

We have a good time

We don’t talk, ha

We all get together

Any type of weather

Then we do the camel walk, oww

Lookie here, dig this

Now there was a dance

That I used to do

The name of the dance, ha

They call the boogaloo

I may not do the dance

As well as you, ha

But baby, you can

Bet your bottom dollar

You’ll never hear me holler

I’ll do the best

That I can do, oh

Uhh, lookie here, feeling good

There was a time

Sometime I danced

Lookie here

Sometimes I danced

Sometimes I clown

But you can bet you

Haven’t seen nothing yet

Until you’ve seen me do

The James Brown, ow
