-lyrics
verse 1:
Come here sister.....Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip...about that new breed babe
He ain't no drag
chorus: 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
He ain't no drag
chorus: Papa's got a brand new bag
interlude:
He's doing the Jerk....
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 3:
Come here sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip now
but I can dig that new breed babe;
He ain't no drag
chorus: He's got a brand new bag
verse 4:
Oh papa! He's doing the Jerk
Papa...he's doing the Jerk
He's doing the twist ... just like this,
He's doing the Fly ev'ry day and ev'ry night
chorus:
The thing's....like the Boomerang
interlude:
Hey....come on
Hey! Hey.....come on
Hey! Hey....he's put tight...out of sight...
Come on. Hey! Hey! (fade out)
