The Thing In “G” lyrics

[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen, I wanna start by saying: this is James Brown, and uh, this is kind of a new thing, I'm not- I’m not gonna be formal. I wanna be real down to Earth and soulful. See, I've never cut a jazz tune before, and if I was in the same band, that cut things and tried me all other things; we're gonna cut this thing... and we call it "The Thing in G", because you see, we’re not jazz cats. We're just starting, so we'll start by kicking it off
