Stevens, Ray - Freddie Feelgood Lyrics






Well they got a tight little unit you know they're the most
Famous all over from coast to coast
A-really layin' down the sound as much as you can stand (yeah, yeah)
They got 3 outfits a red yellow and blue
Volkswagon station wagon, luggage carrier too
Got their name painted on the side you know it looks so grand
I'm talkin' 'bout Freddie Feelgood and his Funky Little Five Piece Band
Whoa yeah

They got a drummer named Yum-Yum he can really go some
Blows real cool, makes all the girls drool [drum noises]
They got a cat named Ace, he blows the bass [bass noises]
They got another named Tyrone he plays trompone [trombone noises]
Cat named Percy, have mercy, plays piano in the treble cleff [piano]
And the trumpet man, he's the leader of the band
Yeah that's Freddie Feelgood hisself [obnoxious trumpet noises]
Ahh, work out now!

["Band" plays]

Well they're packin' 'em in every place they go
Everybody starts to rockin' on the dancehall floor
Stompin' their feet to the rhythm and clappin' their hands (yeah, yeah)
Yeah you can bet everybody's gonna have a good time
'Cause the music they play you know it sounds so fine
It's the kind with a down-home beat that you can understand
I'm talkin' 'bout Freddie Feelgood and his Funky Little Five Piece Band
Whoa yeah
Ahh, work out now!

["Band" plays again]

    Mr. Stevens is a national treasure. He has been making us laugh fo 50 years. Very few artist can claim to have a 'record' like that.

  7. M.... D....

    This guy is something else. I just laugh my full head off at some of his videos. You have quite an imagination Ray Stevens.

  8. A.... B....

    Never heard this song before. But never heard a Ray Stevens song I didn't like. Thanks again, Ray!

  9. L.... S....

    This is the greatest thing I've ever seen

  10. M.... T....

    He sounds the same as he first sang it.  Great to hear it.  My friends and I used his song for a school concert....mimed it of course.  We were a real hit with the crowd!!  Haven't heard it for a long time.  I still have the single.

  11. F.... H....

    All in One ... Mr. Ray Stevens.. Ladies & Gentlemen.. The best of the best.

  12. s.... w....

    i love all rays songs .where did he get all this

    s.... w....

    All this came from God. Ray Stevens has lived a life that proves one doesn't have to be evil to have fun and get rich at the same time. He's a shinning example of how good guys don't have to finish last. If one works for it first place is an attainable goal. I love this man in the purest of all Godly ways. I know there will be laughter in heaven, because Ray Stevens will be there. I can picture him holding regular Saturday night sock hops on that street of gold with Old Gabe leading the band.

  13. s.... w....

    Rays band has more soul than they can control, amen bro ,

  19. J.... B....

    If you ever quit, were coming after you! Please Ray never stop making Music!!!!!! 

  20. J.... B....

    all the instrumental stuff, minus the piano, and drum interludes, were supplied by ray's voice. cool huh?

    J.... B....

    Actually the drum is also Ray's voice...he's scat singing...as he does for Freddie Feelgood. The piano is the only thing not vocally mimicked.

  21. J.... B....

    I agree 100%
    Ray is a sheer musical genius!

  22. s.... ....

    On this day in 1966 {July 5th} Ray Stevens performed "Freddie Feelgood (and his Funky Live Five Piece Band)" on the ABC-TV week-day program 'Where The Action Is'...
    Eleven days later on July 16th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart for a two weeks stay, peaking at #91...
    It reached #22 on the Australian Kent Music Tracks chart...
    Mr. Stevens, born Harold Ray Ragsdale, celebrated his 74th birthday seven months ago on January 24th...

  23. R.... C....

    Absolutely loved this since '66 when it came out on a ...... wait ..... A 45!!!

  24. T.... F....

    I used to sing this to my kids. It was their favorite song.

    T.... F....

    Tom Freimann sandy Kay Ballard Ray Steve sand ☺ is going to be great

  25. C.... ....

    Certainly discovered his place in life! I have been a big fan since I purchased my first "Ray Stevens" album in 1974. Still have it. Just looked at the vinyl LP label and it indicates the album name was "Boogity Boogity". Featured "The Streak", Freedie Feelgood" and more. Hmmmm, is that a picture of Ray streakin' on the album jacket!?!

  26. R.... O....

    hahaha, gee, ya think??

  27. J.... ....

    haven't heard this one before but but it is pretty funny

  28. J.... P....

    Plays the bass on a cello. This is great.

    J.... P....

    Not to get too in the weeds but technically that's considered a Stand Up Bass...even though it physically resembles the Cello the differences are in the tone/pitch/octaves etc. etc. Also, the Cello is aligned with classical music and is played, historically, while seated and the Cello situated between a person's knees and a bow is used rather than your hands. The Stand Up Bass found in a lot of jazz bands of certain era's is played exactly as Ray's demonstrating in the music video...plucking the strings with your fingers.

  29. E.... L....

    *gasp* no! I thought they had mastered cloning!

  30. J.... G....

    If you look closely, you can see the whole band is actually 5 Ray Stevens.

    J.... G....

    John Garrett no duh

  31. K.... W....

    Love everything Ray does...Wish someone would download "When the Kids Leave Home."

  32. J.... J....

    hey hey ROFL

  33. T.... ....

    Ray Stevens is perhaps one of the greatest pieces of Americana we have!!!!!!!!!!!!!LMAO

  34. B.... D....

    I've never seen this vid before until now! That was one of my favorite tunes! Ray Stevens is one of the greatest!

  35. T.... S....

    Ray I can tell you enjoy yourself.

  36. s.... ....
