[Ebm]
There was a time when I used to dance.
There was a time when I used to praise.
But dig me now, baby, ha!
Don't worry about later.
Dig the dance I used to do.
They call them mashed potatoes.
Ha!
There was a time when I dig this, ha!
There was a dance they call a joint.
Relax and watch me work.
[Ab] [Ebm]
In my hometown where [N] I used to stay,
[Ebm] the name of the place is Augusta, GA.
We have a good time.
We don't talk.
We all get together.
Any type of weatherman would do.
So come on, walk.
Ha!
Look here, dig this, ha!
Now there was a dance that I used to do.
The name of the dance they call a boogaloo.
I did not do the dance as well as you.
But baby, you can bet your bottom dollar,
you'll never hear me holler.
I'll do the best that I can do.
Ha!
Look here, feeling good.
There was a time, sometime I'd dance.
Look here, sometime I'd dance,
sometimes I'd clown.
But you can bet, I haven't seen nothing yet
until you see me do the James Brown.
Ha!
[N]
