Mother Popcorn

I like 'em bold, I like 'em proud
Some like 'em short, skinny legs and all
What you are doin', brother, to stay ahead of me”
See, you got to have a mother for me
I call another brother

Popcorn
Play me some popcorn
Talkin' about Maceo
Look here

A mother she got to have

Popcorn, a look here
Sometime I'm feelin' low

Some like 'em fat and some like 'em tall

Sometime, sometime I'm feelin' low
Somebody done me, said, “Now I see
A don't put no trash, ha
Popcorn
Do the popcorn and do the horse
See, you gotta have a mother for me
And jump back, baby, James Brown's gonna do his thing, popcorn
Popcorn
Look here, ha, good God
There was a time when I was all alone

And when I want lovin'
Maceo, blow your horn

Show everybody where you at, you gotta be boss
And when they walk, you know they draw a crowd
The way you do your little thing, step in a small ring
And when I get burnt, ha, I use a salve
I had a secret, thought I was gone
