Lyrics for Song: It Feels So Good - Part 1 (1929)
Lyrics for Album: Complete Recorded Works 1925-32, Vol. 4-(1928-29) [1991]
I feel so good, I feel so good , [spoken, falsetto]
Way down yonder in Dixieland,
The folks goin' crazy 'bout the jug-o band.
Because it feels so good, ah, it feels so good, ah.
Everybody's doin' it 'cause it feels so good.
The monkey and the baboon playin' in the grass.
The baboon said no but the monkey said yes.
'Cause it feels so good, ah, it feels so good.
Ring around your ringtail, 'cause it feels so good.
Sister Kate and Mother Mo,
Shoved that shimmy across the floor.
Cryin' it feels so good, ah, it feels so good.
Yeah, and shouting, Lord, it feels so good.
Boy it feels so. [spoken, man's voice]
Yes it feels so good. [spoken, falsetto voice]
Ah, you know it feels so good. [spoken, man's voice]
Ah, now it feels so good. Ah, play it now, Lonnie, 'cause it feels so good. [spoken, falsetto voice]
Said the chick when she eat the worm,
It make me wiggle when it starts to squirm.
'Cause it feels so good, ah, you feel so good.
I like good bait, 'cause it feels so good.
Stand aside and let Mama pass,
I got to switch to my "sparrow grass."
'Cause it feels so good, ahhh, it feels so good.
Yeah, spare me a limb, honey child it feels so good.
The funniest thing that I've ever seen,
Was a "wompass cat" with his eyes are green.
Cryin' it feels so good, ahhh, Lord, it feels so good.
Gonna tell the world, that it feels so good.
