Lyrics James Brown – Mother Popcorn
Text:
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Popcorn-yeah-yeah-yeah popcorn!
Some like ’em fat and some like ’em tall
Some like ’em short
Skinny legs and all
I like ’em tall
I like ’em proud
And when they walk
You know they draw a crowd!
See… you gotta have a mutha for me
Yeah-yeah-yeah ah come on!
A look-a-here!
There was a time when I was all alone
I had a secret thought I was gone
Somebody done me!
Said now I see
What you are doin’, brother
To stay ahead of me
And when I get burndt ha! I use some salve
And when I want some lovin’
A mother she got to have
See — you got to have a mother for me

There was a time when I was all alone
I had a secret thought I was gone
Somebody done me!
Said now I see

To stay ahead of me
And when I get burndt ha! I use some salve
And when I want some lovin’
A mother she got to have
