There Was A Time (Live At The Apollo Theater, 1967) - 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
