Bobby Byrd says "If You Don't Work You Can't Eat"

"You've got to have a job"

My favorite from the James Brown Revue. JB did a version with Marva Whitney and I think baby Lloyd in 1965.

Is this where the whole, "[insert actor] gotta eat" meme comes from? Like whenever a Nicolas Cage or other Oscar winner stars in a craptastic film, "Nic Cage gotta eat".

James used some of these lyrics for "If You Don't Give a Doggone About It" ("you gotta have a job to keep your family able...") and then the title for "Mind Power".
