Check Your Body - James Brown

(Body, check it out now… You got a body…

Funky, funky body, check it out…

Tell 'em mighty Godfather, go…)

You’ve got this on your mind, telling them we are through

You wanna fight the world by yourself, I know it’s true

You really don’t wanna stay, I know you’ve made up your mind

But before you go away, see what you left behind

Check your body (check your body)

Check it out (check it out)

Check out your (funky, funky) body

(Check your body) body

(Check your body) ooh, ooh, ooh

(Check it our now)

So we just can’t get a loan, we just can’t get a loan

It’s always for others meant

If it’s not, where have you been?

It’s probably where your money’s spent

I know you wanna go, but try on your mind

Your mind is already gone, but before you make a move…

Check it out!

(check your body)

Check out your funky body (body!)

My man!

(your body) I made it mine

Body!

(body) yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Mm!

Say brother… play me a new groove, if you don’t mind

Mm!

You wake up, baby

You make your own money, you drive your own car

You’ll never be lonely, to your friends you are a star

You’ve won every man you need, ah, uh-huh

Ease your troubling mind, and see what you left behind!

So check your body (your body)

You better think about it!

And give yourself some time, and check your body

(Check your body) body (body)

Now Fred!

(Yeah?)

Move air back there, and blow your horn, brother

I need a little reverb, 'cause I wanna sound deep and gritty

Pretty is on the corner, street lady!

Woo!

Street lady, street lady, yeah yeah yeah yeah…

You star you, street lady, woo.

Oh… I can see it now, yeah…

Yeah, I can see it too… this smile…

What from, moments… I can see it…

There are pink letters…

Very clear, right ahead of me… hey sister…

I can see it all night!!!

Yes, I can see it too…
