fred wesley & the j.b.'s - little boy black lyrics

[spoken intro: fred wesley]
now, where i come from in alabama, we didn’t always have a whole lot of bread to break
but thanks to a lot of beautiful people, we don’t worry about that too much anymore
i’d like to thank all the people who buy our records
we’re glad to know they make you happy
and i’d especially like to thank the disc jockeys around the country
all the fine fellas that spin these records
if they didn’t play ’em, you wouldn’t know we had made ’em

[fred wesley & james brown]
(rap) i don’t want n-body tellin’ me what to do (yeah)
don’t tell me (hmm) how to blow my horn (say it again)
said i don’t want (uh-huh) tellin’ me what to do (heh)
don’t tell me (tell ’em) how to blow my horn (go on and rap)
said i don’t want n-body (mmm-hmm) tellin’ me what to do
(who is you?) don’t tell me how to blow my horn (who is you?)
’cause i’m little boy black (i didn’t know that)
and i’ma blow my horn (go on and blow)
said i’m little boy black (yeah), and i can blow my horn
(go on and blow, black)

[horn solo]

i’m gon’ blow my horn like i wanna blow
i don’t want n-body (sing it, black) tellin’ me what to do (yeah)
don’t tell me (huh) how to blow my horn (i’m small boy black)
i said i don’t want n-body (yeah) tellin’ me what to do
(go on and rap) i’m big boy black (ha), and i’ma blow my horn
(small boy black)

now, james brown said he was down and out in new york city
but i’ve been down and out all over the world (what?)
you got to have mind power, right? (i can dig it)
you gotta have mind power to dig with this starvation
(but how can your mind work right if you’re a hungry man?)
a hungry man can hardly think straight (what you say?)
you gotta have mind power to keep from being hungry (i’m hip!)
now, a well-fed man would play like this
(show me how a hungry man play)

[horn solo]

(hey, little boy black) yeah
(show me how a full man play) he’ll put it like this
get funky
funky, black
little boy black, blow your horn
little boy black, blow your horn
