What'd I Say
Ray Charles Lyrics
Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long, all right now
Hey hey
All right
See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing, all right now, now
Hey hey
Hey hey
Tell your mama, tell your pa
I'm gonna send you back to Arkansas, oh yes m'am
You don't do right
Don't do right
Oh, play it boy
When you see me in misery
Come on baby, see about me now, yeah
Hey hey
All right
See the girl with the red dress on
She can do the Birdland all night long, yeah yeah
What'd I say?
All right
Well, tell me what'd I say
Tell me what'd I say right now
Tell me what'd I say
Tell me what'd I say right now

And I wanna know
Baby, I wanna know right now
And I wanna know

This is one of those songs that blew me away on first listen. Usually it takes me several listens to "get" a song, but not this one. A timeless classic.

Usually I'm the same way but a few classics like this just takes 1 time to realize that song is going to be a hit. As long as it has a tight beat it will get you out of your seat and onto the dance floor just like the artist intended for the fans to do "Dance"
