Qué pasa people, qué pasa ...hit me!

Ooh!

Get on down like a...

Unh!

I wanna get on the good foot

Ho! Good foot

I got to get on the good foot-ah

Going down to the crib

Let all hang out

Where soulful people knows what it's about-ah

Going down to the crib

And let it all hang out-ah

Where soulful people knows what it's about-ah

Where people do the sign and take your hands-ah

And dancin' to the music James Brown band... mmm

They're dancing on the good foot

I got to get on the good foot

Got to do it on the good foot

Do it with the good foot

Said the long-hair hippies and the afro blacks

They all get together across the tracks

And they PARTY

Ho! On the good foot

You know they dance on the good foot

Dance on the good foot

Ain't nothing goin' on now

But the rent-ah

A whole lotta bills and my money's spent

Mmm

And that's on my bad foot

Whoa, unh

You know my face gettin' short and I got the blues

I got a funky job and I paid my dues on the good foot

Ho! On the good foot

I got to get on the good foot
