Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Get up, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

They're doing it down in Nassau

Drive that funky soul

They're doing it by the beach, hah

Driving that funky soul

New York, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

Let your body pop

And let your feelings flow

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

When I say Sagittarius

Drive that funky soul

When I say Pisces, holler

And drive your funky soul

When I say Gemini, heh

When I say Capricorn, WOAH!

Drive your funky soul

When I say Scorpio, Virgo

If I say Cancer

Can you drive that funky soul?

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

Slaughter, Get on up, get yourself together

Drive that funky soul

Leo, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

Aquarius, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Get up, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul (x2)

Fred, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Drivin' drivin, I need some money

Do you need some money?

Drive your funky soul

The cats on the corner

Drive that funky soul

The girl that's standing out there

Drive that

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Fred, hit it! Hit it!

(solo)

In Nassau and Germany, they're driving that funky soul

In Georgia, they're driving that funky soul

They're driving that funky soul in Washington and Baltimore

Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago

St. Louis, Houston, I said Dallas, Waco

Next door neighbor, they're driving that funky soul

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

(instrumental)

And I believe they're driving themselves

Driving that funky soul

In Houston, Texas, they're getting themselves together

With the funky soul

In Mobile, Alabama, they getting that funky soul

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Los Angeles, raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Birmingham,raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

On the Isle of Mark (?) raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Going to get it, going to get it

Got to get some money and drive that funky soul

Got to get some money, got to get some money

I need a little bit of money, oh yeah

I need a little bit of money

Fred, Fred, I need 1 million

2 million, 3 million

Brother? (Yeah) Will 1 million be enough?

(Better get 2)

But since the man got 3, we better get 3, can you understand, we can use 3, can we use 3

Take 'em on home, Fred

Get yourself together

Amd drive that funky soul

(during solo)

There it is, there it is,

There it is

Raise up

Raise up (screams)

Raise up

Raise up

Raise on up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

(Spoken:)

You don't miss nothing you never had

But you miss so much you wish you could get, HAH

I guess you can put that together

It takes a man to find a woman

It takes a woman to find what a man used to be

Get up

Get on up

Everybody needs somebody, drive that funky soul

Raise up, drive that funky soul
