So, wide can't get around it
So, low you can't get under it
(So, low you can't get under it)
So, high you can't get over it
(So, high you can't get over it)
Da-yee do do do do do do
This is a chance
This is a chance
Dance your way
Out of your constrictions
(Tell sugah)
Here's a chance to dance
Our way
Out of our constrictions
Gonna be freakin', up and down
Hang up alley way
With the groove our
Only guide
We shall all be moved
Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down
On the one which we believe in
One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk
(Can I get it on my good foot)
Gettin' down
Just for the funk of it
(Good God)
'Bout time I got down one time
One nation and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now
(Aye aye aye aye aye)
Feet don't fail me now
Give you more
Of what you're funkin' for
Feet don't fail me now
Do you promise to funk?
The whole funk
Nothin' but the funk
Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down
On the one which we believe in
Here's my chance to dance my way
Out of my constrictions
(Do do dee oh doo)
(Do do dee oh doo)
(You can dance away)
Feet don't fail me now
(Ha ha)
Here's a chance to dance
Our way
Out of our constrictions
Gonna be groovin' up and down
Hang up alley way
The groove our only guide
We shall all be moved
Feet don't fail me now
(Ha ha)
Givin' you more
Of what you're funkin' for
Feet don't fail me now
Here's my chance to dance my way
Out of my constrictions
Givin' you more
Of what you're funkin' for
