James Brown (Thanks) [Live]

Thank you very much

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to say

Thanks for catching the James Brown show

And I hope when you leave, you'll be glad you did

Because we intend to do a good job, work real hard

So each and every one will enjoy what they came to see

And I wanna say thanks for all you've done for James Brown

And the James Brown Show

Because without you, there wouldn't be a James Brown

Want me to talk louder?

I thought I got to sing so loud I'd be cool when I start talking

Okay, I'll talk louder

Thank you very much

I just want you to know that I'm a man, and I stand up for it

And if I can't do it the way it should be done, I don't go at all

Because when you're crippled, you're gonna look bad, see?

And then that's probably what, you know

A lot of people will be looking for

So anytime I hit that screen and you tune in on it

You're gonna see a soul brother doing everything

That he's been doing any other place and more

Jack, I come here and do business, you take care of it

And I want you to know another thing

Regardless of how big I get, I'll never forget

Where I came from, where I came from

Where I am and who put me where I am today - you

Thank you very much

And now I go to work so you can go home

I don't want you to stay out all night

You're not worried about going home? All right
