| The story of Christmas is as old as time itself
 | 
| So believe me, brothers and sisters
 | 
| Let’s not put none of that good soul talent on the shelf
 | 
| Have you been worried and lonely, and didn’t know what to do?
 | 
| Come and take a few of these simple lessons from James Brown, me
 | 
| And you’ll feel the same way, too
 | 
| Ha, I do the Monkey, the Mashed Potatoes, whenever I’m blue
 | 
| Don’t worry 'bout nothin', get some exercise
 | 
| And you can do the same thing, too
 | 
| You know the story, on Christmas morn'
 | 
| A sweet little baby boy was born
 | 
| Don’t worry 'bout nothin' 'cause I’m your friend
 | 
| I’m your friend
 | 
| Don’t worry 'bout nothin' 'cause I’m your friend, I’m your friend
 | 
| Don’t worry 'bout nothin' 'cause I’m, I’m your Christmas friend
 | 
| Don’t be hungry 'cause I’m your friend, I’m your Christmas friend
 | 
| Hey, listen to me, don’t be hungry
 | 
| When I’m in need, I dig talent to make my heart bleed
 | 
| It makes my heart bleed with blood as red as wine
 | 
| To dance is what makes me say I don’t wanna cry
 | 
| I’ve got the feeling, I’m soaking wet
 | 
| Get up! | 
| I’m in a cold sweat
 | 
| Alright now, alright now, I’m in a cold sweat
 | 
| I do the Monkey, the Mashed Potatoes, whenever I’m blue
 | 
| Don’t worry 'bout nothin', get some exercise
 | 
| You can do the same thing, too
 | 
| You know the story, on Christmas morn'
 | 
| A sweet little baby boy was born
 | 
| Don’t worry 'bout nothin' 'cause I’m your friend, I’m your friend
 | 
| I’m your friend, I’m your friend, I’m your friend
 | 
| Don’t be hungry, when I’m in need, I dig talent
 | 
| It makes my heart bleed
 | 
| It makes my heart bleed with blood and fire
 | 
| To dance is what makes me say, I don’t wanna cry
 | 
| I got the feeling, I’m soaking wet
 | 
| Get up! | 
| I’m in a cold, cold… |
