Damn Right, I Am Somebody Lyrics by Fred Wesley & The J.B.’s

Damn Right I Am Somebody

1974

[James Brown]
Cat asked me, he said, "Are you somebody?"
I said, "Damn right, I'm somebody"
What do you say when I say "Are you somebody?"
(Damn right I'm somebody)
Lyn Collins, Ms. Collins, are you somebody?
(Yes, I am somebody)
Well, she's a lady
Mr. Ray, are you somebody? (Damn right)
Are you somebody, Brother Pinckney? (You damn right!)
You sure got a lotta grip to say that
Are you somebody, Brother Parker? (Ya damn right I'm somebody)
What about you, salamu alaikum (Alaikum-salam)
Well, alaikum-salam
You know, we speak of love and happiness
To me, happiness is Fred Wesley playing his horn...
Ain't got no dust, ain't got no fuss
I need to ride
Superfly, ha, watch that man
Superfly, ha, watch that man
Ain't got no cellar, ain't got no food
Superfly, he's clever, watch the man
Superfly...
Ain't got no ride, ain't got no fuel...
(scatting)
