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 outso you hugged the globe
now it's whirling too fast
i really got no hope to hang on to the past
the train has departed, the toxins have started
to announce that none will last
i cower in the gutter of a world that's not so near
and i listen to their mutters that are spinning through the air
the words unspoken, the promises broken
and the ones who really care
i'm the watcher of the scene
i see our shadows on the screen
and when the subway brakes to preserve some suicidal bee
i stop to breathe for a while
maybe it was me
this is the world gliding by
like the driftwood beams
on a lifetime's stream
the instant fundamental sky for pandora's lullaby
i see distorted faces coined like gold
and in their wrinkles programs that commercial gurus told
a watermark against a spark
umbrellas that they hold
i'm gliding in the distance and watch the world go by
an orbit full of questions, a perforated sky
but i just sit and wonder a bit that they never wonder why
