Funky drummer question

Okay, I've been wondering for awhile. What is the Godfather really singing?

"I wanna rock the floor?" "I wanna bop the floor?"

Google says "I'm about to blow" but that can't be right.

    I hear, I walk the floor, I want to mop the floor.

    Deciphering James Brown could be a life time job. A whole field of study.

    . It's in my shed bout to work me to death. It's in my shed. I wanna mop the floor.

    The song is obviously about the hard times of doing janitorial work.

    In the 80's Tower used to have Japanese pressings of the James Brown CDs on closeout.

    I always enjoyed reading the mangled translations of JB lyrics - shouts and grunts included.
