That Dood It - James Brown

Now here's a story about

Reppy old jive

Ooh my my my honey and me

I've been diggin' a those stories

About the west of Kansas that had been told

Me and my baby out out there

Dig up a mass of gold

The minute we found the bare treasure

I looked up to see

A great big old lady foot jiving looking

Dead on me

And ain't that Dood it

You know ain't that Dood it

I can have no more eyes

For diggin' up no more gold

No no no no no no

I grabbed what I had in one hand

And my baby about the other

Against grabbed by coat tail and said

Don't you go another farther

I ripped of my coat when I was shaken insane

But what really got my coat

Was when I heard my baby scream

Ain't that Dood it

Ain't that Dood it

Cause I ain't going nowhere

And leave my baby there

No no no no no no

I put on my breeches and stopped dead in my trackes

As much as I hated the idea

I went crawling on back

I said look here Mr Giant

As I raised slowly on one knee

I'll do anything you say hand my baby to me

Ain't that Dood it

Ain't that Dood it

He said you prefer to lose

And I'll set your baby free

No no no no no no

I said I'll make you a proposition

It's up to you to choose

Just leave your money or your honey

One of the two you'll have to leave

I said Mr Giant I want to thank you

For taking the load off my mind

But when it comes to choose between my money

And my honey

I'd take my money

What am I saying

I mean my honey every time

Ain't that Dood it

You know ain't that Dood it

Now the Giant got the money

And I got my honey

And everybody's feeling fine

No no no no no no
