That Dood It

That Dood It - James Brown And His Famous Flames

Now here's a story about

A great big old giant

Ooh

My money

My honey

And me

I been digging all those stories

About the West the cats have told

Me and my baby cut out there

Dig us up a mess of gold

The minute we find a buried treasure

I looked up and see

A great big old eight-foot

Giant looking dead on me

And that dood it you know

And that dood it

I didn't have no more eyes

For digging up no more gold

No no no no no no

I grabbed what I had in one hand

And my baby by the other

A giant grabbed my coattail and said

Don't you go another further

I ripped off my coat

When I was shaking the scene

But what really got my goat was

When I heard my baby scream

An'd that dood it ooh-wee

And that dood it

Because I am not going nowhere

And leave my baby there

No no no no no no

I put on my brakes

And stopped dead in my tracks

As much as I hated the idea

I went crawling on back

I said look-a here Mister Giant

As I raised slowly on one knee

I'll do anything you say

Hand my baby to me

And that dood it mm-hmm and that dood it

He said you bust that loose

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

It's either your money or your honey

One of the two you'll have to lose

I said Mister Giant

I want to thank you for taking

A load off my mind

But when it come to choosin'

Between my money and my honey

I take my money what I'm sayin'

I mean my honey everytime

And that dood it you know

And 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
