Papa's Got a Brand New Bag Lyrics

Come on, sister, Papa's in the swing
Ain't too hip now, about that new breed babe
He ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag
Come here, mama, and dig this crazy scene
Ain't too hip now, but his line is pretty clean
He ain't no drag Papa's got a brand new bag

He's doin' the Jerk, he's doin' the Fly
Don't play him cheap, cause you know he ain't shy
He's doin' the Monkey, the Mashed Potatoes
Jump back Jack, see you later alligator

Come on, sister, Papa's in the swing
Ain't too hip now, about that new breed, babe
He ain't no drag Papa's got a brand new bag
Papa, he's doin' the, doin' the Twist
He's doin' the Twist just like this
He's doin' the Fly every day and every night
And the Thing, like the Boomerang

Papa! I said Papa!
Come on Hey! Hey!
Come on
Hey! Hey!
It's so nice, it's out of sight
Come on Hey! Hey!
Come on
Hey!
