Aren't you tired of sittin'? Don't you wanna move?
Don't need nothin', but a James Brown groove.
To do it right, slide to the left,
Shake your hips, until you sweat,

Now clap your hands, wiggle your feet,
Keep it up, and feel the heat.
Wave in the air, now pump your fists,
And if you can, do a split.

Nobody can't, nobody can't,
Nobody can't, nobody can't,
Nobody can't, nobody can't, nobody can't, nobody can't,
Dance to James Brown.

Twenty years before, the Ramones played punk,
James Brown, laid down the funk.
Michael Jackson, did the Moonwalk,
James Brown did it, before he could talk,

I feel good, when I all wrapped up in some,
Of that funky music, from Soul Brother Number One.
If you're gonna, do the James Brown dance,
Best be careful, don't split your pants.

Nobody can't, nobody can't,
Nobody can't, nobody can't,
Nobody can't, nobody can't, nobody can't, nobody can't,
Dance to James Brown.

Now spread the word, with somebody else,
Or you can do it, all by yourself,
Take a lesson, come on, get down.
Everybody's dancin', to James Brown.

Kid Rock, Mick Jagger and Toby Keith,
Li'l Wayne and Snoop Dogg all know the beat,
But who's the master, of all those funky sounds?
There ain't nobody, as bad as James Brown.

Nobody can't, nobody can't,
Nobody can't, nobody can't,
Nobody can't, nobody can't, nobody can't, nobody can't,
Dance to James Brown.
