|
| Grew some wings and flew to Vegas
|
| Met a girl, took her 'round the world
|
| Form New York, New York to Caesar’s
|
| Now I’m sitting in L.A. alone
|
| I fell asleep with my blue jeans on
|
| I woke up had three missed calls
|
| They said — James Brown is gone
|
| (James Brown is dead)
|
| (I regret to report)
|
| (Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)
|
| (I regret to report James Brown is dead)
|
| (I regret to report James Brown is dead)
|
| (Have you heard what the kids are listening to?)
|
| And the man on the radio said
|
| I regret to report
|
| James Brown is dead
|
| Just press record
|
| Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, yeh
|
| Have you heard what the kids are listening to?
|
| And the man on the radio said
|
| I regret to report
|
| James Brown is dead
|
| Just press record
|
| Godfather of soul, lays in his bed, yeh
|
