Have you seen the man with the golden crotch?
Who oiled the souls of this town of teenage girls.
Have you seen the man with the flaxen wig?
Who brought this city to its knees, who left it lusting.
Have you seen the man who lathers his face featureless?
Because incognito blood won't need to clot,
and if your wearing a bullseye then your gonna get shot.
Hey Yeah!
Hey Yeah!
I got soul
Dress got holes
Got a brand new van
Gun and Cherokee
Driving fast like flashes past
Cops are chasing me
Hotpants she looked fine
She said that she was mine
She was cute torched my suit
And that`s the bottom line
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
On my trail
Car chase boogaloo
FBI `n CIA
And the Russians too
Kicking down the door
Couldn`t take no more
When I`m about there is no doubt
That papas` word is law
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
High speed chase
On my case
Radio ahead
A.P.B. after me
They said I shot the bed
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
Shooting up her mink
Gunshots in the air
Jumpback my car
Goodfoot out of there
Roadblock ahead
Try to flag me down
Soul power and miles per hour
Feet don`t touch the ground
`Cause I got soul
Dress got holes
Intent to kill
But she loves me still
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
I got soul
I`m superbad
Living in America
Sure does drive you mad
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please
In America
Slipping into hell
Bullets hit the wheel
Riccochet could sweat
Talking loud black`n proud
Said papa don`t mess
Can you walk the line
Rookie read my rights
Million hits
Did the splits
This is Dynamite
Funky time behind
Road block up ahead
Driving fast flashes past
Superbad I said
Papas` on the run
With a cherokee and gun
People and need a hit
When you`re chasing number 1
It`s a mans mans world
In America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please

LET A MAN COME IN AND DO THE POPCORN PART I
James Brown
Hey you all look out let a man come in
I got to have fun I'm gonna do my thing
Way over yonder can you dig that mess
The sister standing out there dressed up
In a brand new mini dress
Look hey over there
do you see that boy playing that horn
And dig that soul brother look at him doing the popcorn
Hey everybody I got a brand new start
Hey, hey everybody I got a brand new start
I ain't gonna hurt nobody
I just, I just I just wanna help my heart
Gonna have a ball sure as you're born
Gonna have a ball sure as you're born
I'm gonna dance, dance, dance do the popcorn
Hey look a there hey look a there
Do you see what I see
Everybody doing the popcorn but me
Get back over there with your mini dress
Look out good mama I gotta do my best
Hey over there hey over there look a here
A look a here I got the best band in the land
I just gotta jump back take my stand
I want to ask the fellows don't have no doubt
I just got to lay to lay it right out
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man's, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the world of man
He's lost in bitterness
I got you (I feel good)
James Brown
Music & Lyrics : T. Wright - James Brown
Wo! I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
So good, so good, I got you
Wo! I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
{ sax, two licks to bridge }
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love won't do you no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, I got you
{ sax, two licks to bridge }
When I hold you in my arms
I know that I can't do no wrong
and when I hold you in my arms
My love can't do me no harm
and I feel nice, like sugar and spice
I feel nice, like sugar and spice
So nice, so nice, well I got you
Wo! I feel good, I knew that I wouldn't of
I feel good, I knew that I would
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
So good, so good, 'cause I got you
{ end lick }
{ short pause } { drum cue }
Hey! Oh yeah-a...
GOODBYE MY LOVE
James Brown
You know sometimes a man
Or a woman makes a mistake
Try to find a reason for making a mistake
But there is no reason for making a mistake
The only thing you do is when
You make a mistake is say I'm sorry
Take a man or a woman to say I'm sorry
And it takes a fool to walk away
So right here I want to say I'm sorry
I don't know where you are
But you know I need you
Now there's one more thing I'd like to say right here
I could say goodbye, you just don't understand
I could say baby I believe you got another man
And that I could say I just can't help myself
But I wouldn't be a man
And that I could say maybe we don't have nothing left
But I want you to know I still love you
Oh no matter where you go, I still love you
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy
Goodbye my love, throwing me away
Goodbye my love
There's one more thing you know to have
Someone to worry when you're wrong
Feel the need of a real person
When your friends drop you behind
To kill your anger just by being nice and kind
I could say if you leave it wouldn't bother me
But I know that would be a lie
Cause baby deep down you bother me
But I want you to know and I don't care who knows
I still love you
Woa, oh, I still love you
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy
Oh, oh take it down Jimmy look a here
GIVE IT UP OR TURN IT A LOOSE
James Brown

Shout:Fellas, I'm ready to get up and do my thing
I wanta get into it, man, you know....
Like a, like a sex machine, man,
Movin'... doin' it, you know
Can I count it off? (Go ahead)
Spoken: One, two, three, four!
Get up, get on up
Get up, get on up
Stay on the scene, like a sex machine
Wait a minute!
Shake your arm, then use your form
Stay on the scene like a sex machine
You got to have the feeling sure as you're born
Get it together right on, right on.
Get up, get on up......
I said the feeling you got to get
Give me the fever in a cold sweat.
The way i like it is the way it is;
I got mine and don't worry' bout his
Get on up and then shake your money maker,
Shake your money maker........
Hey, fellas
I'm talking to you, you and you too
Do you guys know who I'm talking to?
Those of you who go out and stay
Out all night and half the next day
And expect us to be home
When you get there
But let me tell you something
The sisters aren't going for that no more
'Cause we realize two things
That you aren't doing anything for us
We can do better by ourselves
So from now on, we gonna use
What we got to get what we want
So, you'd better think, think
Now's the time when we have [Incomprehensible]
That's the thing I never will forget
Now baby, I got a whole lot to give
And a whole lotta loving
That a woman could give, yeah
But before I give it up, I gotta think, think
Think what the future holds for me
Just go ahead and see
I don't need no heartache
I can't stand no misery
Let me think, think
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
All right, yeah
Don't say it's easy
Just plain living
Sometimes it's kinda tough
If it's not in your vision
Don't make no decision
Hey, yeah, all right
So, I'm laying the cards on the table
When it comes to taking care of me
I know I'm able
You may not call it true
But I won't do nothing that you won't do
Said I won't do nothing that you won't do
So think about the good things
Come on and think about the right things
You got to think about me too
Come on and think, think about you
Come on and think about the good things
Come on and think about the right things
Popcorn, hey

Alright

Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
I paid the cost to be the boss
Look at me you know what you see
You see a bad mutha
Look at me you know what you see
You see a bad mutha
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Look at me you know what you see
You see a bad mutha
Told you so!
Told you so!
Havin' fun, got money to boot
Havin' fun, got money to boot
Havin' fun, got money to boot
Havin' fun, got money to boot
'Cause I paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Paid the cost to be the boss
Caught, tracked turned my back
Caught, tracked turned my back
Paid the cost to be the boss
I'm a bad mutha, I'm a bad mutha
Head for the turn around
Head for the turn around
Told you so!
Alone from night to night you'll find me
Too weak to break the chains that bind me
I need no shackles to remind me
I'm just a prisoner, don't let me be a prisoner
For one command I stand and wait now
From one who's master of my fate now
I can't escape for it's too late now
I'm just a prisoner, don't let be a prisoner
What's the good of my caring if someone
Is sharing those arms but not with me
Although she has another and I can't have
Another for I, I'm not free
She's in my dreams, awake or sleeping
Upon my knees to her, I'm creeping
My very life, my life is in her keeping
I'm just a prisoner, don't let me be a prisoner
(Prisoner of love)
You made me a prisoner
(Prisoner of love)
And you made me love you
(Prisoner of love)
Take your shackles of love and go away
(Prisoner of love)
'Cause I love you so much now
You, you, you
Mama's dead, never again would she hold my hand
Never again to hear her call my name
How I miss it much more than I show, I miss it, oh
My mama's dead
No one to talk to when I'm, when I'm feelin' low
No one 'stand me when I, when I go too far
I need help, help, what will I do without help?
She tried so hard to make me a respectable man
She didn't really know me and she didn't really understand
She worked like a slave and prayed hard everyday
What did I do for her? My way was not her way
But now she's gone, her troubles are over, the pain is gone
I wish, I had made her proud to call me son
'Cause I love her more than she knows
More than she knew I love her
No one to cry, no one to sit by the bed side
No one to watch the light in my window
No one, no one to come in
Come in and pull the cover over my head at night
No one to say, son, everything will be alright
No one to say, somebody up there loves us
Lay your head on mama's breast and rest, yeah
Everybody got a mother and you know what I'm talking about
Superhighways, coast to coast, easy takin' anywhere
On the transcontinental overload, just slide behind the wheel
How does it feel when there's no destination that's too far?
And somewhere on the way you might find out who you are
Living in America
Eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Hand in hand, across the nation
Living in America
I got to have a celebration, rock my soul
Smokestack, fatback, many miles of railroad track
All night radio keep on runnin' through your rock 'n' roll soul
All night diners keep you awake on a black coffee and a hard roll
You might have to walk a fine line, said you might take a hard line
But everybody's workin' overtime
Living in America
Eye to eye, station to station
Living in America
Hand in hand, across the nation
Living in America
I got to have a celebration
I live in America
Said, I live in America
Wait a minute
You may not be lookin' for the promised land
But you might find it anyway
Under one of those old familiar names like
New Orleans, Detroit City, Dallas
Pittsburgh P.A, New York City
Kansas, Atlanta, Chicago and L. A.
Living in America

This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl
You see man made the car
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
Man made the electric light
To take as out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like Noah made the ark
This is a man's man's man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about the little betty baby girl
And the baby boys
Man makes them happy
Cause man made them toys
And after man made everyhing
Everything he can
You know that man makes money
To buy from other men
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
In the twenty-first century, you can dance
Get your feet off the ground, get the dummy
And if you believe then you can fly
If a man can read, then he can reply
Hit it, gravity
Yeah, wait a minute, look here
Gravity, the big G
G R A V I T Y, gravity
Say it, gotten a hold on me
For the third verse, the sun
I've been trying to get the funky job done
Pull myself up and work that funk
Don't listen to the wrong honky tonk
You got no sense, you dance too fast
You burn all night, you'll never last
If every man can dream he can defy
G R A V I T Y, gravity, wow, big G
G R A V I T Y, gravity
G R A V I T Y, wait a minute
Slow it down, big city
There's a fat cat there sitting pretty
Watch me break out in a cold sweat
Jump back in, you ain't seen nothing yet
You shake it up, you dance too fast
Make it real, make it last
If every man can dream then he can defy
G R A V I T Y, gravity, the big G
Gravity, G R A V I T Y, say it
Gravity, gotten a hold on me
Let me say that if you can dream
Then you can fly
G R A V I T Y
If you can love, then you can defy
G R A V I T Y, G R A V I T Y
Good god
Gravity, the big G
G R A V I T Y, gravity, the big G
Gravity, the big G, G R A V I T Y, say it
Gravity, good god
Got a hold on me
Gravity
G R A V I T Y, gravity
Big G, G R A V I T Y
Gravity, gravity, G R A V I T Y, say it
Que pasa, people
Que pasa, hit me
Ooh, get on down
I wanna get on the good foot
The good foot
I gotta get on the good foot
Going down to the crib
Let it all hang out
Where soulful people
Know what it's about
Going down to the crib
Let it all hang out
Where soulful people
Knows what it's about
Where people give a sign
And take your hand
And dancing to the music
Of the James Brown Band
They're dancing on the good foot
I gotta get on the good foot
I gotta do it on the good foot
Do it with your good foot
I said the long-haired hippies
And the Afro blacks
Can all get together
Across the tracks
And they party
On the good foot
You know they dance
On the good foot
Dance on the good foot
Ain't nothin' going on
But the rent
A whole lotta bills
And my money spent
And that's on my bad foot
You know my face
Is getting short and
I got the blues
I got a funky job
And I pay my dues
On the good foot
On the good foot
I gotta get on the good foot
Hey on the good foot
Get on the good foot
Drummer now
Hit it there
You gotta hit it
Get it, shuffle down
Come on, get it
On the good foot
On the good foot
On the good foot
Get on the good foot
On the good foot
On the good foot
Get on the good foot
On the good foot
Bass, bass
Hit it there
Hit it there
Stop the bass
Play on it now
Come on, get it
Get it
Get on the good foot
I gotta get on the good foot
Get on the good foot
Take that business, sister
Now a good friend of mine
Sat with me and he cried
He told me a story
I know he ain't lying
Said he went for a job
And Mr. Man said
Without an education
You might as well be dead
Now don't get me wrong
He said, it's not who you are
But people come to me
From near and far
But I do just what
And I follow the rules
I didn't have an education
So I had to go back to school
Tell me one more time, people now
What do you say?
Without an education
You might as well be dead
One more time
What do you say?
Without an education
You might as well be dead
My friends told all his buddies
That he loved so well
And of their personal troubles
I will not tell
Now those guys didn't seem good
And they didn't seem bad
They didn't seem so happy
And I know they weren't sad
But the point isn't
That they follow the rules
They got an education
And they all been in school
Now underneath his tears
I could see the true fact
When he dropped out of school
He never, never went back
Tell me one more time, people
What do you say?
Without an education
You might as well be dead
Got to, got to, got to listen now, now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
So one day he got tired
Of his little spending change
So he looked up his friends
To check their pay range
When he got there, the crib
He found that he was a drag
'Cause man, they were clean
And his clothes were like rags
One was a business man
With the plenty of dough
He had his thing so set up
You know he couldn't blow
The other had his job so uptight
He had his whole family
And his kids all out of sight
Tell me one more time now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
You got to, got to, got to get a little learning
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
What made him so hurt
That these were his friends and he was a drag
They looked at him
And he was in the same old bag
For his friends they worked real hard
When the work day was through
Now, he realized
He should have done the same thing too
Tell me one more time now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
You got to, got to, got to get a little learning now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
For the last time, I'm gonna say
They kept on pushing
When the going was tough
And now they know
That things don't seem so rough
So kids, stay in school
Don't be no drag
Take a fool's advise
And stay out of that bag
Look here, tell me, Bobby tell me one more time
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
Tell me, The Jewels, tell me now one more time
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
Everybody, tell me one more time
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
You got to, got to, got to, got to get some learning now
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
Don't be a drop-out, stay in school now listen to me
What do you say?
Kids, kids
Might as well be dead
No, no
What do you say?
Without an education
Might as well be dead
Stay in school, have a good time
What do you say?
Don't, don't, don't ever blame
Walking with my baby
She got great big feet
She's long, lean and lanky
Ain't had nothing to eat
But she's my baby
I love her just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Cause Caldonia is her name
Caldonia, Caldonia
What make your big head so hard
I love you, I love you just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Cause Caldonia is her name
I don't know what's wrong with her
Someone gotta change right here now
I wanna tell you something
You know, my mama told me
To leave Caldonia alone
(What's the matter with her
What's the matter with her)
I don't know, she says she's no good
She said, son, said, keep away from
That woman, she ain't no good at all
(She must have made a mistake, brother)
Yeah, with mama, there's always
God know what's down
(That's what I thought)
So I'm going down to her
House just one more time
(All right, all right
I'll wait for you)
Caldonia, Caldonia
What make your big head so hard
I love you, I love you just the same
Crazy bout that woman
Well look here Jack
There's something down
The track
He's got rhythm in his feet
But nothing in the sack
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes to town
Every Christmas day
Well he lives up
In a mountain
Like a hermit in the cave
He never had a haircut

Hi everybody, this is James Brown
This is a very, very unusual way to come to you

I say it's happy because birds are tweeting
Sun is shining, the wind's blowing the breeze
The leaves are flying, everybody feels nice
Just say, oh God, thanks for all he wonderful things
You even see a little snow sometimes but you know, God only knows
How Christmas is gonna look, so one more time I'll say

Now Christmas gotta be the kind of a Christmas
That we remember a long time ago
You remember when everybody used to look forward to it, Santa Claus
You'd wanna know what you gonna have the next day
You couldn't wait until Christmas morning to jump up
But that's the morning you wouldn't go to your table
You go straight to your little sack
Hanging on the mantle over the fireplace
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
Let's make this Christmas mean something this year
You know I just enjoy this and I, I can't really can't find enough words
That would really make me express myself the good feelings that I have
But I wanna say thanks, thanks to God and now

In my past years but let's make this Christmas beautiful for everybody

They say loving nothing but the blues
Everybody got the blue sometimes
They say that loving nothing but the blues
And everybody got the blue sometimes
Come on over here, try me, baby
Get a taste of this blues of mine
I wanted you to know what it mean to be in love
Do you know what it means to be mistreated day and night?
Do you, do you, do you, do you know what it means to be in love?
Do you know what it means to be mistreated day and night?
Most of all when you love someone
You always take the wrong instead of the right
Lord, I wanna ask you
Run around the corner
Fell asleep in the sun
You had to move into the shade
Before you fire the gun
We got a hunger for destruction
Need someone to bleed
You sealed the deal before the dawn
You let your actions proceed
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Sooner or later said you know that it’s true
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
You think you’re so sly
You tried to roll by
You played the safe side
You said will somebody take me
Down town
Another James Brown
You made the same sound
You said will somebody write this down …. down
Fightin’ back revenge
You’ve got you’re face to the ground
You make excuses for the madness
You’ve been hanging around
You built a house up in the trees
So you could see everyone
You set the clock and had a run
You set the clock and had a run
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Sooner or later said you know that it’s true
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
You think you’re so sly
You tried to roll by
You played the safe side
You said will somebody take me
Down town
Another James Brown
You made the same sound
You said will somebody write this down…..down
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
Sooner or later said you know that it’s true
Some sunny day they’re gonna come for you
You tried to roll by
You played the safe side
You said will somebody take me
Down town
Another James Brown
You made the same sound
(M. Detroit)
Tonight it feels like
The start of World War III
Looks are like arrows
And words are enemies
You with your silly games
And me trying to work it out
Take my hand and lead me down
Cause tonight I feel like James Brown
Now I know how it feels
To be lonely on a stage
Won't your conscience or your humor
Keep you from walking away
It's so hard not to fight
But I think I'll let you
Wear the crown
Take my hand and lead me down
Cause tonight I feel like James Brown
Human nature is blind and thick
It's chewing on this anger
That makes you sick
If we threw away our stones and sticks
What other games we could play
Please leave me some dignity
How low can I bow
Somebody take my hand and lead me down
Cause tonight I feel like James Brown
Somebody help me now
Please............
C'mon
So take my hand
I'm gonna leave you now
Cause tonight I feel like
