"James Brown" lyrics

"James Brown"
(with Seun Kuti)

I want you to take me out
I want you to bring me downtown
I want you to, oh show me around
I want you to take me out
I want you to bring me downtown
I want you to, oh yeah
Oh yeah

I'm only gonna wear my long jacket
Sit in the corner with a cigarette
Make you see if I'm, oh yeah
And if your friends wanna look
Well that's OK in my book
It really, oh gets me off my hook

I want you to take me out
I want you to bring me downtown
I want you to, oh show me around
I want you to take me out
I want you to bring me downtown
I want you to, oh yeah

I know I may look a little square
I know I look like a wooden chair
But I got, oh yeah
And in the words of James Brown
I'm sorry but I came to get down
I'm sorry but I, oh yeah

I told you to take me out
I told you to bring me downtown
I told you to, oh show me around
I want you to take me out
I want you to bring me downtown
I want you to, oh yeah

I know I may look a little square
I know I look like a wooden chair
But I got, oh yeah
And in the words of James Brown
I'm sorry but I came to get down
I'm sorry but I, oh yeah
