Help me, help me
There was a time, huh, I used to dance
There was a time, baby, I used to prance
People, dig me now, good God, huh
Don't worry 'bout later
Dig the dance I used to do with my soul, huh
They call 'em the Mashed Potatoes
Then cool yourself, sit down, huh, baby
Sit down, huh, keep yourself cool if you can
Jump back over here and watch your man, huh
Back in my hometown
I used to stay depressed, huh, trying to do my thing, huh
Right there, down south on Augusta, GA
ย
Whenever, ever, ever
ย
When I went to school, sometimes I was late
Just because I'd sit up in the corner
They said, "Jim, take your old coat here and wait"
Made me late, made me late
Sometimes I'd shout and sing
I had my soul, I'd do my thing
People, people, sometimes I don't think you realize
I'm singing this song with tears in my eyes
Singing this song with tears in my eyes
Singing this song with tears in my eyes
Hey, y'all, tell me, what would you do, y'all
If all I couldn't ask for
Oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, huh, uh
ย
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I can't hold out much longer
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't, I can't, I can't
I need some help, help
I need some help, help me
Bobby Byrd said I need some help
Help me, help me
Byrd, can you help me?
Help me, help me, help me, help me
Help me, help me, help me, help me
Hey, help me, huh, help me
Help me, fellas, fellas, I need some help
Help me, help me
Hey, help me, help me, help me
I'm getting stronger, I'm getting stronger
I'm getting stronger, that means I can do my thing
Longer, I said longer, I said longer
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I said longer
I, I said longer, hey
I got it, I don't need no help
I got it, I don't need no help
There was a time, huh
There was a time
There was a dance I used to do
The name, the name of the dance
The name, they call it, they call
They call it the Boogaloo
I may not do the dance
But if you, you, you, huh
You can bet your last dollar
That you'll never hear me holler
I'm gonna do the best that I can do
There, there, there was a time, hey, hey, hey
I feel a movement
I feel, I feel a movement
I feel, I feel a movement
I wanna move, move, I got to move
I wanna move, I got to move, move, move, move
Move, move, move over there, hey
I got to move, move on up, uh
I got to move on up, huh
I got to move on up
I, I, I, I, I, I got to move on up
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I got to get on up
I got to move
