there was a time

Lyrics

there was a day, there was a time, when i used to play, there was a time when i used to play, but take me now, baby, don't worry about later, teach the dance i used to do, they call it the mashed potato, there was a day, now dig this, there was a day, they call it the jerk, everybody relax and watch me work, 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 in time, for rhythm with you, so come and walk, there was a day that i used to do, the name of the dance, they call it boogaloo, i may not do the dance as well as you, but baby, you can bet your bottom dollar, that you never hear me holler, i do the best that i can do, there was a time, sometimes i dance, sometimes i dance, sometimes i clown, but you can bet you haven't seen nothing yet, until you see me do the james brown
