[Verse 1]
Uh, looka here, ha
There was a day, ha
There was a time, ha, when I used to play, ha
There was a time when I used to prance
But dig me now, baby, don't worry 'bout later
Dig the dance I used to do, they call it Mashed Potatoes, oh
Uh, ha, uh

[Verse 2]
There was a dance, now dig this, ha
There was a dance, ha, they call the Jerk
Everybody relax and watch me work, oh

[Verse 3]
In my hometown where I used to stay
The name of the place, ah, is Augusta, GA
Down there, we have a good time, we don't talk, nah
We all get together, any type of weather, then we do the Camel Walk, oh

[Verse 4]
Looka 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

[Verse 5]
Looka here, feeling good
There was a time, sometime I dance, looka here, sometime I dance, sometimes I clown
But you can bet you haven't seen nothing yet until you see me do the James Brown, oh
