There Was A Time Lyrics By Gene Chandler

    one two three four
    there was a time
    when i used to dance
    there was a time
    when i used to prance
    dig me now baby ha
    don’t worry bout later ha
    here’s a dance i used to do
    they call the mash potato oh
    lookie here
    there was a dance
    they call the jerk
    everybody relax
    and watch me work
    all right lookie here
    in my home town
    up here with the boys
    the name of the place
    is chicago illinois
    up there we have a good time
    we don’t talk ha
    instead we all get together
    any type of weather
    then we do the camel walk wow
    all right lookie here
    now there was a dance
    that i used to do now
    the name of the dance
    they call the boogaloo ha
    i may not do the dance
    as well as you ha
    but you can bet your bottom dollar
    you’ll never hear me holler
    i’ll do the best that i can do wow
    all right lookie here
    there was a time
    sometimes i danced
    sometimes i danced
    baby sometimes i danced
    baby baby baby yeah
    they call me the woman handler
    they call me the woman handler
    but you can bet you
    haven’t seen nothing yet
    until you’ve seen me do
    the gene chandler wow
