That Dood It Songtext
von James Brown

Now here′s a story about a great big old giant
Woo, my money, my honey, and me

After digging all the stories about the West the cats had told
Me and my baby cut out there, dig us up a mess of gold
The minute we found a buried treasure, I looked up to see
A great big ol' eight-foot giant looking dead on me

And that do′d it, you know, and that do'd it
I didn't have no more eyes for digging up no more gold
No-no-no-no-no-no

I grabbed what I had in one hand, and my baby by the other
A giant grabbed my coattail and said, "Don′t you go another further"
I ripped off my coat when I was shaking the scene
But what really got my coat was when I heard my baby scream

And that do′d it, ooh-wee, and that do'd it
′Cause I ain't going nowhere and leave my baby there
No-no-no-no-no-no


I put on my brakes and stopped dead in my tracks
As much as I hated the idea, I went crawling on back
I said, "Looka here, Mr. Giant," as I raised slowly on one knee
"I′ll do anything you say, hand my baby to me"

And that do'd it, mmm, and that do′d it
He said, "Give up that loot, and I'll set your baby free"
No-no-no-no-no-no

I said, "I'll make you a proposition, it′s up to you to choose
It′s either your money or your honey
One of the two you'll have to lose"
I said, "Mr. Giant, I wanna thank you for taking a load off my mind
But when it come to choosing between my money and my honey
I′ll take my money, what I'm saying, I mean my honey every time"

And that do′d it, you know, and that do'd it
Now the giant got the money, and I got my honey
And everybody′s feeling fine
No-no-no-no-no-no
