Some like them fat and some like them tall
Some like them short, skinny legs and all
I like them boss, I like them proud
And when they walk, you know they draw a crowd

See, you got to have a mother for me
Yeah, yeah yeah
Popcorn, looka here

There was a time when I was all alone
I had a secret, thought I was gone
Somebody dug me, said, now I see
What you are doing, brother, to stay ahead of me
But when I get burnt, ha, I use a salve
And when I want loving, a mother she got to have

See, you got to have a mother for me

Show everybody where you're at, you gotta be boss
When you do your little thing, step in a small ring
And jump back, baby, James Brown's gonna do his thing
