[Verse 1]
Well, they got a tight little unit, you know they're the most
Famous all over from coast to coast
A-really layin' down the sound
As much as you can stand (Yeah, yeah)
They got three outfits—a-red, yellow, and blue
Volkswagen station wagon, luggage carrier, too
Got their name painted on the side
You know it looks so grand
[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout Freddie Feelgood
And his Funky Little Five-Piece Band
Whoa, yeah
[Bridge]
They got a drummer named Yum-Yum, he can really go some
Blows real cool, makes all the girls drool
(*drum-like scatting*)
They got a cat named Ace, he blows the bass
(*upright bass-like scatting*)
They got another named Tyrone, he plays trombone
(*trombone-like scatting*)
Cat named Percy, have mercy
Plays piano in the treble clef
(*piano playing*)
And the trumpet man, he's the leader of the band
Here's Freddie Feelgood hisself
(*trumpet-like scatting*)
Ow! Work out now!
[the "band" plays—that is, Ray scats and plays piano]
[Verse 2]
Well, they're packin' 'em in every place they go
Everybody starts to rockin' on the dancehall floor
Stompin' their feet to the rhythm
And clappin' their hands (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, you can bet everybody's gonna have a good time
'Cause the music they play, you know it sounds so fine
It's the kind of with-it, down-home beat
That you can understand
[Chorus]
Talkin' 'bout Freddie Feelgood
And his Funky Little Five-Piece Band
Whoa, yeah
Ow! Work out now!
[the "band" plays again, with a big finish]
