Can't pass the people, can't pass the, hit me



Ooh, get on down like

Uh, 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



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

And that's on my bad foot, whoa, uh



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



Hit it there, you got to, get it, get it

Sharper now, uh

Come on, get it, ah, huh



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



Get it there, get it there

Ho, now bass, play on it now



Come on, get it, ah, 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
