Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag (Part 1) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come here, sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip
About that new breed thing

[Refrain]
He ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag

[Verse 2]
Come here, mama
And dig this crazy scene
He's not too fancy
But his line is pretty clean

[Refrain]
He ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag

[Bridge]
He's doing The j*rk
He's doing The Fly
Don't play him cheap
'Cause you know he ain't shy
He's doing The Monkey, The Mashed Potatoes
Jump back Jack, see you later, alligator
[Verse 2]
Come here, sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip now
But I can dig the new breed thing

[Refrain]
He ain't no drag
He's got a brand new bag

[Bridge]
Well, Papa, you're doing The j*rk
Papa, he's doing The j*rk
You're doing The Twist, just like this
He's doing The Fly every day and every night
The thing, like The Boomerang

[Outro]
Hey!
Come on, hey-hey!
Come on, hey-hey!
Said you're uptight, you're out of sight
Come on, see what you know
Come on, see what you know
