Qué pasa people, qué pasa ...hit me!

Ooh!

Get on down like a...

Unh!

I wanna get on the good foot

Ho! Good foot

I got to get on the good foot-ah

Going down to the crib

Let all hang out

Where soulful people knows what it's about-ah

Going down to the crib

And let it all hang out-ah

Where soulful people knows what it's about-ah

Where people do the sign and take your hands-ah

And dancin' to the music James Brown band... mmm

They're dancing on the good foot

I got to get on the good foot

Got to do it on the good foot

Do it with the good foot

Said the long-hair hippies and the afro blacks

They all get together across the tracks

And they PARTY

Ho! On the good foot

You know they dance on the good foot

Dance on the good foot

Ain't nothing goin' on now

But the rent-ah

A whole lotta bills and my money's spent

Mmm

And that's on my bad foot

Whoa, unh

You know my face gettin' short and I got the blues

I got a funky job and I paid my dues on the good foot

Ho! On the good foot

I got to get on the good foot

Hey! On the good foot

Get on the good foot

Come over!

-- Bass lick & drum only --

Hit it there

You got to

Get it

Get it

Sharper now, unh!

-- Guitar only --

Come on, get it-ah

Hunh!

-- Horn line x6 --

On the good foot

On the good foot

Ho! On the good foot

Get on the good foot

On the good foot

On the good foot

Ho! Get on the good foot

On the good foot

Bass! Bass-ah!

-- Bass lick & drum only --

Get it there

Get it there

Ho!

Now bass

-- Bass only --

Play on it now

-- Horn line 2 --

Come on

Get it-ah

-- Back to main lick --

Get it

Get on the good foot

Ooh!

I got to get on the good foot

Ooh!

Get on the good foot

Ho!

Take care of business, sister, I'm your fella
