No need and-a no need to get bumpy
And-a no need – and-a no need to get bumpy

Youth and youth agree to:
Cool running; can you dig it?
Cool running; yeah, one more time! A-beg you:
Cool running; can you stop it?
Cool running:

Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!

Coming from the root of King David
Through to the line of Solomon
His Imperial Majesty is the Power of Authority:
Spread out, spread out
Spread out, spread out

And-a no need – and-a no need to walk away

Cool running, can you dig it?
Cool running: it’s one more time we want it
Cool running

Spread out, spread out
Spread out, spread out
Spread out. Spread out, spread out
Spread out, spread out

It’s just-a Blackman Redemption
Can you dig it (wo-yeah!) Good, Lord! Good, Lord! Good, Lord!
