Ode To Soul Man

Syl Johnson, Johnny Cameron

[Intro]
Hey Syl, what's happenin' brother?
Well you see soul brother Willie, it's like this
The news is goin' around town
How Broadway Woman danced Soul Man down
Yeah?
Now, dig, I wanna tell you about it
It's like this, uh!

[Verse 1]
Theres this place called Soul Man
Had this cat they called Soul Man
Now Soul Man was braggin'
How he danced 'em all down
He had Broadway Woman scared to come in town, yeah

[Verse 2]
That cat was rappin', he had the floor
When Broadway Woman walked in the door
Somebody shouted out loud and clear
Said "Look out y'all, up in here", uh

[Bridge]
Now come on baby, with your little long skinny legs
Show 'em what you can do
Shing-a-ling, boogaloo, funky broadway
Go ahead, show 'em, show 'еm

[Verse 3]
Broadway Woman got Soul Man
Said "Come on daddy, and make your stand", now
Now Soul Man knew Broadway Woman's famе
He would really have to dance to save his name, uh, alright
Now the gents went wild watchin' Broadway Woman flow
Pulled Soul Man still hand on the floor
But from that day on, Soul Man's soul was lost
'Cause Broadway Woman showed him who's boss

[Bridge]
Uh, besides, huh!
Hit it, baby, come on now, sock it to 'em
Alright, hit it
Sock it to 'em again, come on baby
Let it hang, uh!
You-you got it, that's the way, come on
Come on, Broadway Woman!
Let it move, let it groove
Woo, come on baby
You're lookin' good, now
Alright baby

[Outro]
Come on and move
Groove, woo
