The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Behold! I am Funkadelic
I am not of your world
But fear me not
I will do you no harm
Loan me your funky mind, and I shall play with it
For nothing is good, unless you play with it
And all that is good is nasty!
Fly on, baby
{mumbling..some orange haze, orange haze, it ain't purple now more...cough}
Lalalala, ladada
(x4)
What is soul?
I don't know, huh!
Soul is a hamhock in your cornflakes, yeah
What is soul? (hehhehheh)
I don't know
Huh
Soul, soul is the ring around your bathtub
What is soul?
I don't know
Huh, uh
Soul is a joint rolled in toilet paper
Lalalala, ladada
(x3)
Lalalala, ladada (ah, ah)
Lalalala, ladada
Boo, boo, boo, bom, bom, bom {etc}
What is soul
Man, I don't know, huh
Soul is rusty ankles and ashy kneecaps (oh yeah)
What is soul
Man, I don't know
Soul is chitlins foo yung (Chop chop...oh, tell 'em, brother!)
What is soul
Man, I told ya, I don't know
Huh
Soul is a hamhock in your cornflakes
Oh, get on down now!
Yeah
Lalalala, ladada
(x5)
Boo, bom, boo, bom, {etc}
Oh yeah
{x3}
Soul, soul, soul
Lalalala, ladada (ah, ah)
Lalalala, ladada
