Lyrics James Brown – The Original Disco Man

He’s the original disco man
With the original disco band
He’s the original disco man
His groove is where it all began

He’s the original disco, disco man
With the original disco, disco band
He’s the original, bona fide original
Original disco man

In nineteen hundred and fifty-five
People were dancing to all kind of jive, yeah
In nineteen hundred and sixty-six, ah!
You all got down with my funky licks
Uh-huh, yeah. Hit it!

He’s the original disco man
With the original disco band
He’s the original disco man
His groove is where it all began

He’s the original disco, disco man
With the original disco, disco band
He’s the original, bona fide original
Original disco man

Disco man
Bona fide original
Got to be original
Original disco man

I come alive, when the feeling gets right
Uh-huh baby
I’ll make you shake, when the music gets tight
I showed the way for every rock-and-roll band
In the land, yeah

Mmm…
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Make it soft
But keep it funky, yeah
Ah, so good, yeah
So-so-so-so good, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mmm… bring it up
Bring it up
Bring it up, yeah
Higher, higher
Make me feel higher
Yeah!

He’s the original disco, disco man
With the original disco, disco band
He’s the original, bona fide original
Original disco man

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

He’s the original disco, disco man (you tell ’em!)
With the original disco, disco band (you tell ’em!)
He’s the original (sho-nuff), bona fide original (sho-nuff)
Original disco man

When the music, the music makes you move
Yeah, hah!
And the freak has got you, yeah, in the groove
Do the rock everybody, hah, gettin’ down, down, down
Shake your body, shake your body, let your soul be found

He’s the original disco man (you tell ’em, you tell ’em!)
With the original disco band (I told ’em, I told ’em!)
He’s the original (I said), bona fide original (I said)
Original disco man

One more time, one more time!

He’s the original disco, disco man (you tell ’em, you tell ’em!)
With the original disco, disco band (everybody, tell ’em!)
He’s the original (I said), bona fide original (I know the)
Original disco man
