Keep Keepin' - James Brown

Hit me, good God!

Uh, uh, so nice, hit me, yeeeaow!

Uh!

Got to keep on doin'

Got to make it all right

Got to stay in the groove

Until you’re out of sight

Got to keep on keepin'

When you’re all alone

Satisfaction guaranteed

On your own — sing!

Got to move and get busy

Keep your eye on the grease

Let’s love one another

Got to keep the peace

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)

Do what you wanna do

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')

Boy, I’m tellin' you

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)

'Til you reach the top

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')

Don’t you ever stop — hit me!

Got to have some gravy (gravy)

Got to move on ahead

Get your education

Got to bake your bread (full wheat)

Keep up your chin

Got to have a jaw (jaw)

Keep your mash potato chips

Gimme more — sing!

Don’t leave your mouth hanging

Got to get in the groove

Get that dribble off your lip, good God!

Soul food

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)

Do what you wanna do

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')

Boy, I’m tellin' you

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)

'Til you reach the top

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')

Don’t you ever stop — good God!

— Maceo?

— Uh-huh?

— Ha-ha-ha-ha, Maceo?

— Yeah, man?

— You ready to blow?

— You better know it!

Like this!

With your bad self!

(Go Maceo, go Maceo, go Maceo, go Maceo

Go Maceo, go Maceo, go Maceo, go Maceo)

Got to get a little further (further)

Got to do your trick

C’mon people, get movin' (move)

Let your back bone slip — sing!

Got to move and get busy (busy!)

Got to be Number 1 (uh!)

Hit the beat, F.F.

— it ain’t over till it’s done

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)

Do what you wanna do

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')

Boy, I’m tellin' you

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin'!)

'Til you reach the top

You got to keep keepin' (Keep keepin')

Don’t you ever stop — yeeeaow!

Does me right!

(Does you right!)

Does me right!

(Does you right!)

Does me right!

(Does you right!)

Ain’t that right?

(Yeah!)

Ain’t that right?

(Yeah!)

Ain’t that right?

(Do it!)

Do it?

(Do it!) Sit down

Sealine

Ain’t it funky now?

— Yo, Mr. Brown!

Where you going?

— Hey, I just got to go!

— What do you mean you go?

You’re going too soon!

Where you going?

— I just got to keep keepin'!

— Alright man, well if he’s going, I’m going too

Come on, let’s break, let’s leave.

Come on, y’all

— Yo man, what about Maceo?

(Let's just go!)

Maceo, put down… put down that horn, and come on, come on Maceo!

Yo, check it out y’all, I got a good idea.

Let’s turn off the music,

if we turn off the music, then he’ll get up and come along with us.

So let’s turn it off (alright then!)

— The guy’s still playing!

Brother can’t hear…

Yo, I know what, man.

Let’s leave, and let’s close the door

Let’s lock him inside, then he’ll leave

— You better do it!

— Come on, let’s go.

Close the door

— Brother's still playing!

— Struttin' that horn…

— Yo man, I don’t care.

Let’s go, let’s get outta here

Let’s leave, let’s leave.

(won't be nut…)

Yo Gerry, turn off the light

— Yo, ey man, who turned off the light?

Naw, no no, don’t do that!

Hey man, how do you expect me to see…

No, don’t turn the- nuh-uh!

Hey fellas, come on back, man!

Don’t leave me here all by myself!

Oh man — oh… man, put the lights back!

I can’t… well, I’ll play anyway
