"Papa's Got A Brand New Bag, Pt. 1"

Come here sister

Papa's in the swing

He ain't too hip

About that new breed babe

He ain't no drag

Papa's got a brand new bag

Come here mama

And dig this crazy scene

He's not too fancy

But his line is pretty clean

He ain't no drag

Papa's got a brand new bag

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

Come here sister

Papa's in the swing

He ain't too hip now

But I can dig the new breed babe

He ain't no drag

He's got a brand new bag

Oh 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

Ev'ry day and ev'ry night

The thing

Like the Boomerang

Hey! Come on

Hey! Hey! Come on

Hey! Hey!

Says he's uptight, out of sight

Come on

See whatcha know

Come on

See whatcha know
