Well, tapping' that thing is easy to do, I got that thing for my particular use

Tap it in the mornin', well, I tap it at night, tap that thing, I done tap it just right
REFRAIN: I been tappin' that thing, Great God Almighty, been tappin' that thing, Great God Almighty

Went to the front door to get a shine, said, "Go to the back door and get it from behind."
