Everybody Got Soul

by Fred Wesley & The J.B.'s

Lyrics
Hey Maceo, Maceo, wait a minute!
I bet you can't play, I bet you can't play
That little funny horn over there behind you

Can you play that little horn? Come on
Over here and play it with me, brother

Hey man, talent just shines, the cat's
Together, you know what I'm saying?
Looka here, okay, brother
Make it tall, bring it down
Maceo, Maceo
Grab your flute and blow
Maceo, make it soft
Make it soft, I wanna hear it from the Lord
Maceo, blow, blow

Can you make it soft, fellas, like, like this?
Gotta have a funky good time
Gotta have a funky good time
Gotta have a funky good time
Gotta have a funky good time

You know what, you know what? I like that, wait a minute
Wait a minute, Maceo
You give me a little bit of Wes, and I want
Maceo to give me a little bit of flute
Stay down there, brother, you got it

Shucks, shibbolees, mmm!
The horn!

The horn!
Shibbolees!
Shibbolees!
Haha

I don't dig Jimmy, I don't like Jimmy
I'm not a... no, I don't get so deep on the horn
Yeah, he take care of his own business when he get down there
Give a big round of applause, brother Maceo!
Looka here, how do you feel, brother?
You know, if we went back to the key of F, what would you think of?
Fred, what do you think of when we think of the key of F?
(Fred Wesley)
Uh, the key of F, uh, makes me think of, uh, friendly

Oh man, that's really groovy, that's groovy
Brother Maceo, brother, brother, yeah Lord
Now what do you think of, brother, when you think of the key of F?
And make it big, brother
(Fred Wesley)
Freedom!

Right on! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah, brother!
Right on, thank you!
I want you to play the horn, brother Maceo, you got it all in you
You got it all in you, you gotta get it down, one time
Yeah, you got it, are you listening?
Hit it now, hey!
