James Brown - Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag
I am posting this song for one reason and one reason only - mama’s got a brand new bag! I woke up this morning with a pep in my step and a smile on my face. At this point you may be asking yourself what the new bag is? Well don’t hurt yourself cuz it isn’t anything to philosophical. I LITERALLY got a new bag - orange alligator skin! And the ish is F-I-E-R-C-E.
I know what you’re thinking - orange?!?! Gator?!?! Well…for those of you that know me my wardrobe can be a bit on the conservative side. I have a lot of navy, gray, black and white and love simple clothing. What I also love are crazy shoes. I’ve never been very into purses but I decided yesterday I need at least one that pops for those days when I need a little flare. And what goes better with flare then FUNK! You know a song is iconic when not only is the title a popular colloquialism (gambling, shopping, lifestyle change), but no matter how few times you’ve heard, it automatically pops into your head in certain situations. I’ve been humming it all morning while I enjoy my new purse so here it is for ya’ll to hum along to with me. Enjoy!

James Brown - Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag
Come here sister…..Papa’s in the swing
He ain’t too hip…about that new breed babe
He ain’t no drag
Papa’s got a brand new bag
Come here mama….and dig this crazy scene
He’s not too fancy….but his line is pretty clean
He ain’t no drag.
Papa’s got a brand new bag
He’s doing the Jerk….
He’s doing the Fly
Don’t play him cheap ‘cause you know he ain’t shy
He’s doing the Monkey, the Mashed Potatoes, Jump back Jack, See you later
alligator.
Come here sister
Papa’s in the swing
He ain’t too hip now
but I can dig that new breed babe;
He ain’t no drag
He’s got a brand new bag
Oh papa! He’s doing the Jerk
Papa…he’s doing the Jerk
He’s doing the twist … just like this,
He’s doing the Fly ev’ry day and ev’ry night
The thing’s….like the Boomerang.
Hey….come on
Hey! Hey…..come on
Hey! Hey….he’s pu tight…out of sight…
Come on. Hey! Hey!
