There Was A Time Lyrics By James Brown And The Famous Flames

    uh looka here ha
    there was a day there was a time
    when i used to play
    there was a time when i used to prance
    but dig me now baby don’t worry about later
    dig the dance i used to do
    they call it mashed potatoes oh

    there was a dance now dig this ha
    there was a dance they call the jerk
    everybody relax and watch me work oh

    in my hometown where i used to stay
    the name of the place is augusta ga
    down there we have a good time
    we don’t talk
    we all get together any type of weather then we do the camel walk oh

    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

    looka here feeling good
    there was a time sometimes i dance looka here
    sometimes i dance sometimes i clown
    but you can bet you haven’t seen nothing yet
    until you see me do the james brown oh
