I'm goin' away, baby
But I will be comin' back
I'm goin' away, baby
But I will be comin' back
I'm a man now, baby
An I sure can have my fun
My mama she told papa, said the same
'Now that you're a man.'
'You sure can have your fun.'
Ooh, an I sure can have my fun
Spoken:
When I was laying down
I heared mama an papa, talkin'
I heared papa tell mama
'That boy's a man, now.'
'Why hold him down?'
'Let him go have his fun.'
An I hear them say it
I was layin' down thinkin' to myself
I over heard 'em
I felt so good
Went on Boogie'n just the same
Jump Chillun!
Spoken:
Look-a-here now, baby
I'm twenty-one, now
An I'm a man an I know
I can stay out all night long
Til the break of day
No worry 'bout a thing
I can take care of myself from now on in
Yes daddy, yes daddy
