The Deacon Work Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, have you ever seen Deacon Charlie work? (Have you ever seen him?)
Have you ever sit back and watched him jerk? (See Deacon Charlie work, now)
I can funky Broadway, you know I can boogaloo (Charlie work, now)
And I've even been known to shingaling too (Shame on me)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and you can surely dance, babe
You know you ain’t seen nothin' yet

[Chorus]
'Til you sit back and see Charlie work (Charlie work, now)
You gotta see Deacon Charlie work

[Verse 2]
Now they say that I’m gettin' a little old (Have you ever seen him?)
But ask any young babe, and she'll tell you I got plenty soul (See Deacon Charlie work, now)
People are gossipin' all over town (Charlie work, now)
Talkin' about me and that girl down the street, little miss round

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, she came, people, bit my share
Tellin' everybody you better shut up (Ah, yeah)

[Chorus]
'Cause Deacon Charlie can surely work (Charlie work, now)
You gotta see Deacon Charlie work

[Verse 3]
Oh, Sunday, after meetin' is over and done
I grab me a sister and dance ’til the break of dawn
Work out, Charlie
Work out, Deacon Charlie (See Deacon Charlie work, now)

[Bridge]
Feelin’ alright, now (Yeah)
Somebody please pass the plate
(Charlie work, now)

[Verse 4]
Now you might look down on me (Have you ever seen him?)
You might talk about everything I do (See Deacon Charlie work, now)
Just take a survey, and baby, you will see (Charlie work, now)
That there's many deacons like me (Charlie, work out)

[Pre-Chorus]
So you may as well face the facts
Pull up a chair, sit back and relax, baby

[Chorus]
And watch the Deacon work (Charlie work, now)
Gotta see Deacon Shorty work (Charlie work, now)
Ow

[Outro]
Cool it, man, cool it, here come the judge, cool it, you better cool it
’cause here come the judge (Charlie work, now)
(Charlie work, now)

(Charlie work, now)
