You’ll spot him, he’s doing the black bottom
This little dance sure got him
I want to say he’s just happy
Keeps you happy
Nice people jump over the church steeple
They want to be first to see this dance creation
Why it’s brand new and no imitation
Just sway it, it’s wonderful, I’ll say it
Oh leader man please play it
It’s easy to do, that is true
This dance sure has got us
I’m glad that he taught us
Black bottom, get hot and 
Do the black bottom with me.
