George Clinton - We Want The Funk
Undercover Brother Soundtrack
Tear the roof off, we're gonna tear the roof off the mother, sucker
Tear the roof off the sucker

You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down
There's a whole lot of rhythm going round

Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk
We gotta have that funk
(x2)
La la la la la
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!
