Come here sister, papa's in the swing
  He ain't too hip to that new breed thing
  He ain't no drag, papa's got a brand new bag
  Go get mama and dig this crazy scene
  He ain't bad dancing, but his mind 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, 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 he can dig the new breed thing
  He ain't no drag, he's got a brand new bag
  Papa he's doing the jerk, papa's he's doing the jerk
  You're doing the twist, just like this
  He's doing the fly, every day and every night
  The thing, like a boom-a-rang
  Come on, hey hey, come on, hey hey
  I say you're uptight, you're out of sight, come on, see what you know
