Somebody done me, said, “Now I see
Popcorn, a look here
Some like 'em short, skinny legs and all
And jump back, baby, James Brown's gonna do his thing, popcorn
Sometime I'm feelin' low
Popcorn
The way you do your little thing, step in a small ring
Show everybody where you at, you gotta be boss
Do the popcorn and do the horse
See, you got to have a mother for me
I call another brother
And when I get burnt, ha, I use a salve
Popcorn
Popcorn
I like 'em bold, I like 'em proud
Talkin' about Maceo
Look here
Play me some popcorn
See, you gotta have a mother for me
There was a time when I was all alone
And when they walk, you know they draw a crowd
Some like 'em fat and some like 'em tall
Sometime, sometime I'm feelin' low
What you are doin', brother, to stay ahead of me”
A mother she got to have
And when I want lovin'
I had a secret, thought I was gone
A don't put no trash, ha
Maceo, blow your horn
Look here, ha, good God
