I have had the privilege of visiting a number of gentlemen’s clubs around the country, and around the globe. In spite of tremendous cultural diversity, they all had one common element; artists performed to the great Aretha Franklin’s “Rock Steady.”
I’ve taken the liberty to modify the lyrics to a small degree …
“Baghdadi”
Baghdadi baby!
That’s what I feel now
Let’s call this song exactly what it is
Step n’ move your hips
With a feelin’ from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car
And take a ride
And while you’re movin’
Baghdadi
Baghdadi baby
Let’s call this song exactly what it is
(What it is -what it is – what it is)
It’s a funky and low down feelin’
(What it is)
In my hips from left to right
(What it is)
What it is
Is I might be doin’
(What it is)
This funky dance all night
Oh!
(Let me hear ya gotta feelin’ in the air)
Oh!
(Gotta a feelin’ an ain’t got a care)
Oh!
(What fun to take this ride
Baghdadi will only slide)
Baghdadi…….. Baghdadi baby
Baghdadi…….. Baghdadi baby
[Instrumental]
Step and move your hips
With a feelin’ from side to side
Sit yourself down in your car
And take a ride
While you’re movin’ Baghdadi
Baghdadi
Let’s call this song exactly what it is
(What it is -what it is – what it is)
It’s a funky and low down feelin’
(What it is)
In my hips from left to right
(What it is)
What it is – is I might be doin’
(What it is)
This funky dance all night
Oooooooooooooh
(Wave your hands up in the air
Got the feelin’ an ain’t got a care)
Oooooooooooooh
(What fun to take this ride)
(Baghdadi will only slide)
Baghdadi baby
Baghdadi … woo!
Baghdadi
[Instrumental]
(Bagh…dadi!… Bagh … dadi!)
(What it is)
It’s a funky and low down feelin’
(What it is)
In my hips from left and right
(What it is)
What it is
Is I might be doin’
This funky dance all night
Oooooooooooooh
(Wave your hands up in the air)
Oooooooooooooh
(Got a feelin’ an ain’t got a care)
Oooooooooooooh
(What fun to take this ride)
Oooooooooooooh
(Baghdadi will only slide)
Baghdadi
Steady it baby!
Bagh….Baghdadi baby
[Fades]
Baby
(What it is)
Baby baby
(What it is)
Baby
(What it is)
Baby…
