Ok shut the funk up
Ok shut the funk up that's what I'm talking about
Ok shut the funk up
It comes in all shapes, sizes
Colours, textures and flavours
But don't be fooled because you've got the
Old school and the new school
You see, there are no rules
You've got your discount dog-mouth funk
You've got your half priced peak wise funk
In fact, you've got a little bit of
Low-brow high-brow pewie-pow-ow funk
You've got uneducated funk
As well as your educated funk
And trust me when I tell you
That funk comes in between
Indeed, the funkiest you I ever knew
Displayed the funk that was always true
It ain't no mystery, it's just a little bit of history
Funk's been around as long as Earth
In fact, uh, funk's as old as dirt uh
Today if you listen to all that hip-hop and rap
Check this
The Funk, P-Funk, rocking with the Wee Funk
The madder the monk, the better the funk
The bigger the beat, the quicker the feet
My friends come funky with the funked up heat, uh
Uh-uh-ho!
Never gonna be no torn up relic
I've got a lot of love for Funkadellic
A-breaking it up and shaking up with
Your frustration
You've got to get with Grand Central Station!
Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-now!
Ye-ye-yeah!
Uh-you-uh-uh-you-you-uh
Yeah!
Lazy-lazy-laze of the musical mayors
My-oh-my, all the higher players
The crazy love I know comes from that
Funkle Joe, eh-ye-yeah
Dr. John's around, that I know
P-funk is the baw-maw-ow, so be good to my ear hole!
Ok shut the funk up
Don't it make you feel unnecessary?
Ok shut the funk up
Dr. John's around, that I know
P-funk is the baw-maw-ow, so be good to my ear hole!
Do the funk got a mind of its own?
Ok shut the funk up
Or I'll won't leave ya alone
Ok shut the funk up
Do the funk got a mind of its own?
