I.j. Foxx

(album: Back Home Again - 1970)

She was born in New England in a little town in Maine
Her daddy raised her by the scriptures
When she turned to age eighteen, she moved to Hollywood
Wanted to be in the moving pictures

Studio to studio, started early in the day
Hoping she might be discovered
Finally, an agent said, "I think you look okay
Maybe we could get you on a magazine cover"

"But first, we'll have to change your name
I got to think of one that no one will forget
I got to think of one sure to make you a hit"

"I think I'll call you I.J. Foxx, ooh, can you think of a better name?"
I.J. Foxx, ooh, can you think of a better name?
I.J. Foxx, ooh, can you think of a better name?
Can you top it? Can you dig it?
Can you do it? Can you make it?
'Cause you know, yeah, you know
I said you know, you know, you know you're gonna have to shake it

I.J. Foxx, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I.J. Foxx, ooh-ooh-ooh
I.J. Foxx, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Well, can you top it? Now can you dig it?
Can you do it? Can you make it?
'Cause you know, yeah, you know
You know, you know you're gonna have to shake it
