There Was a Time |
| One, two, three, four |
| There was a time |
| When I used to dance |
| There was a time |
| When I used to prance |
| Dig me now, baby, ha |
| Don’t worry bout later, ha |
| Here’s a dance I used to do |
| They call the mash potato, oh |
| Lookie here |
| There was a dance |
| They call the jerk |
| Everybody relax |
| And watch me work |
| All right, lookie here |
| In my home town |
| Up here with the boys |
| The name of the place |
| Is Chicago, Illinois |
| Up there, we have a good time |
| We don’t talk, ha |
| Instead we all get together |
| Any type of weather |
| Then we do the camel walk, wow |
| All right, lookie here |
| Now there was a dance |
| That I used to do now |
| The name of the dance |
| They call the boogaloo, ha |
| I may not do the dance |
| As well as you, ha |
| But you can bet your bottom dollar |
| You’ll never hear me holler |
| I’ll do the best that I can do, wow |
| All right, lookie here |
| There was a time |
| Sometimes I danced |
| Sometimes I danced |
| Baby, sometimes I danced |
| Baby, baby, baby, yeah |
| They call me the woman handler |
| They call me the woman handler |
| But you can bet you |
| Haven’t seen nothing yet |
| Until you’ve seen me do |
| The Gene Chandler, wow |
