James Brown - I'm a Greedy Man

Pick up on this, pick up on this

Ha, hey, I'm a greedy man, a greedy man
I'm a greedy man, I'm a greedy man
Hey, uh, I'm a greedy man
Now, brother don't leave the homework undone
Hey, hey, hey
Now, brother don't leave the homework undone

Wait a minute, sister
You got to have something to sit on
Before I carry you home
Don't say I ain't got it because I can't do without it
Too much to rub but not too bad
But it's better than dying from something
That you never had
Uh, uh, Lord, derrierre
I may be crude, sometimes it pays
But let me tell you something
I love those sexy ways, ha
I'm a greedy man, I'm a greedy man
My name ain't Jodie
But my name is Brown, huh
I like to love to get down, down, down

I'm a greedy man (he's a greedy man)
I'm a greedy man
Now, brother don't leave the homework undone, hey hey, uh
Now, brother don't leave the homework undone, hey

I can prove myself, take it off the mat
The man better check himself, now run tell that
Hey, looka here, looka here
Now good strong men don't grow on trees
I'm not talking just to tease
You're made so sweet, you're made so sweet, you're so sweet
You're my pet, come over here little darlin' and wipe this sweat
I can feel ya, feel your hand now, feel your hand now
It feels so good, ha, it feels so good, ha

Hey, hey, now, brother don't (what?) Leave the homework undone
Can I scream, Bobby? (One time)
Can I scream for 'em? (Go ahead) hey, yeah
Huh, good to 'em, look here
Now, brother don't leave the homework undone
Looka here, I know I'm rough when I'm pleasing, ha
Stay on the case, I don't stand no teasing
'Cause I"m a greedy man (he's a greedy man)
I"m a greedy man (he's a greedy man)
Yes I are (he's a greedy man)
Ha, yes I are (he's a greedy man)
I love it (he's a greedy man)
Hey, hey (he's a greedy man)
Yeah (he's a greedy man)
Hey (he's a greedy man)

Look here now, we better tell 'em one more time (one more)
Brother, tell 'em one more time (one more)
I don't think they understand us
You better tell 'em one more time

Now, brother don't leave the homework undone
Looka here
Now Jab', he's a greedy man (he's a greedy man)
Johnny (he's a greedy man)
Dave (he's a greedy man)
Roland (he's a greedy man)
Coleman (he's a greedy man)
Cheese (he's a greedy man)
What about Cheese? (He's a greedy man)
Not Cheese (he's a greedy man)
Cheese (he's a greedy man)
Fred (he's a greedy man)
Wesley (he's a greedy man)
Fred (he's a greedy man)
Thomas (he's a greedy man)
Bobby (he's a greedy man)
Bobby (he's a greedy man)
Talkin' 'bout ya (he's a greedy man)
Talkin' 'bout ya (he's a greedy man)

I love the whistle back here
Now baby, baby, do you hear me?
Close the door, close the door, close the door, close the door, baby
Close the door, close the door
I'm a greedy man, don't tell my neighbors
Don't tell the neighbors, I don't care
I just don't want them to know that I've been here
I'm a greedy man, don't tell my neighbors
Don't tell your brother, don't tell your father
Don't let, a-don't let, a-don't, ah, ha
'Cause they know I'm a greedy man (he's a greedy man)
I (he's a greedy man)
I'm a greedy man (he's a greedy man)
I can prove myself, taking out the fat
Take care of my business, now run tell that
I can prove myself, taking out the fat
Your man better check himself, now run tell that
Now I'm not talking just to tease
Good strong men don't grow on trees
Not rough when I'm pleasing
Good God, don't stand no teasing, hey
'Cause I'm a greedy man (he's a greedy man)
I'm a greedy man (he's a greedy man)
I'm going over (he's a greedy man)
I'm going over (he's a greedy man)
Going over (he's a greedy man)
Going to the bridge (he's a greedy man)
Going over (he's a greedy man)

Hey, yeah, huh, come on
