It Doesn't Really Matter

Roger! Roger! Fresh!

Roger! Roger! So!

Roger! Roger! Fresh!

Fr-fr-fr-fr-fr-fr-fresh!

Ha ha ha ha...

I remember when I was younger

James Brown was so unique

I never understood how he did it

How he made his music groove your very soul

If you listen close to the music

You’ll find no difference between now and then, no

My synthes-istic humanistic sound’ll groove you, yeah

It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change

It doesn't really matter, it all remains the same

It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change

It doesn't really matter, it all remains the same

Do you remember Chuck Berry

He made us rock around the clock

Just keep on rockin' and reelin'

And rockin' and reelin', and rockin' all night

Let's rock

C'mon!

It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change

It doesn't really matter, it all remains the same

It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change

It doesn't really matter, it all remains the same

It doesn't really matter, it doesn't really change

It doesn't really matter, it all remains the same...

Down, down, down, down

It really doesn’t matter, it all remains the same...

Time after time, day after day

It doesn't matter things remain the same

It doesn't matter, matter, matter, matter, matter

Oh, there’s no doubt about it

Things remain the same

Oh, there’s no doubt about it

Dum-dum-dum-dum, bop

Oh, there’s no doubt about it

It never really changes

Oh, there’s no doubt about it

Do-do, do-do, do

Stevie Wonder, Rick James

Charlie Wilson and the Gap Band

Roger Troutman and the Zapp Band

Cameo and Grandmaster

Aretha, she's the queen

James Brown, he's the king

So me, you're the king

Oh Melba Moore, I Love You More

They sound so good to me

Do you remember Sly Stone?

(What city did he come from Roger?)

First, there was Detroit

Then there was Stax

In Memphis

Then the Philly Sound

Now we've got the Minneapolis connection

Thank you Prince 'cause you sound so good to me

Get on down, get on down

Down, down, down, down...
