Come here sister...Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip...about that new breed thing
He ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag

Come here mama...and dig this crazy scene
He's not too fancy...but his line is pretty clean
He ain't no drag
Papa's got a brand new bag

He's doing the Jerk...
He's doing the Fly
Don't play him cheap 'cause you know he ain't shy
He's doing the Monkey, the Mashed Potatoes, Jump back Jack, See you later
Alligator

Come here sister
Papa's in the swing
He ain't too hip now
But I can dig the new breed thing;
He ain't no drag
He's got a brand new bag

Oh papa! He's doing the Jerk
Papa...he's doing the Jerk
He's doing the twist ... just like this
He's doing the Fly ev'ry day and ev'ry night
And the thing....like the Boomerang
Hey! Hey...says he's uptight...he's out of sight...
Come on. See whatcha know. Come on
