Oh, funky, funky but chic

Oh, funky, funky but chic

Funky, funky but chic

You funky but, funky but

Alright, alright, alright

Got a pair of shoes, yeah, somebody gave me

Mama thinks I look pretty fruitiful in jeans, I feel rockin'

I don't wear nothing not too fussy or neat

I just want something to be able to walk down your street

Hey, come on, baby, let's get on down to the boutique

Let's bring back something that's funky but chic, I say

Funky, funky but chic

Funky, funky but chic

I get down in any neighborhood

I swear that my friends will take me

The people that are out itch and ditch

I swear they gonna break me

Yeah, take me

I fly just to get downtown, I swear where everybody's crazy

And when I fly on down, next street them girls stop actin' lazy

And I said

I don't wear nothing not too fussy or neat

I just want someday to be able to fly down your street

Hey, dis-donc baby, o est le boutique?

Let's bring back something that's funky but chic, I say

Funky, funky but chic

Oh, funky, funky but chic

Oh, funky, funky but chic

You funky but, funky but

Alright, alright, alright

Girl

I got a neat old car, come on, baby, let's get driving 'round

I got a '56 Mercedes Benz I have painted cocoa brown

Yes, brown

I don't drive nothing not too fussy or neat

I just want someday to be able to drive down your street

Hey, beep beep baby, let's get on down to the boutique

Let's bring back something that's funky but chic, I say

Funky, funky but

Oh, chic

Funky, funky but

Et trs chic

Funky, funky but

Oh, what chic

You funky but, funky but

Alright, alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright

Got a pair of shoes, yeah, somebody gave me

(Funky, funky but chic)

Mama thinks I look pretty fruitiful in jeans, I feel rockin'

(Funky, funky but chic)

I don't wear nothing not too fussy or neat

I just want someday to be able to walk down your street

Hey, get out of bed, baby, let's get on down to the boutique

Let's bring back something that is funky but chic
