Electric Spanking of War Babies

{G Clinton, Bob Bishop, Walter Morrison}

{spoken}
Hi there (hi, are you talking to me? What is that?)
You probably don't remember me, right? (no, I don't remember you)
Ah-ha, but I remember you (what's that? I don't???)
You probably won't believe this, but, uh
I, at the early age of seventeen
Was adopted by aliens hahahah (hahahaha)
Was adopted by aliens hahahah (hahahaha, oh god)
That's right, I said aliens (ahh)
They have long since programmed me
To return with this message

{sung}
When you learn to dance
You won't forget it
Ooh, if you learn to dance
You won't forget it

When you learn to dance
You won't forget it
(x2)

You can walk a mile in my shoes
But you can't dance a step in my feet
(x2)

You stand a chance
You can dance, ooh-ooh
(x2)

It's shocking to find (sock it to the circuit)
That your mind (sock it to the circuit)
And your behind (sock it to the circuit)
Gets a spanking in time

Sock it to the circuit
Dead it in addition???

We compute a perfect funk

You can walk a mile in my shoes
But you can't dance a step in my feet
(x2)

It's a bummer to find
That your mind
And your behind
Gets exploded in time

The electric spanking of war babies (x4)

Oh it's shocking to find
That your mind
And your behind (electric)
Will get a spanking in due time (spanking of war babies)

You've seen the bomb (electric)
Vietnam (spanking of)
LSD (war babies)
You've seen the ?
You've seen DNA
Watch them go to the moon
Live on TV

Sock it to the circuit
We compute a perfect funk
digital???
We compute a perfect funk


you can dance, ooh-ooh

It's shocking to find
That your mind
Like your behind
Gets a spanking in time (spanking in time)

Sock it to the circuit

You've seen the bomb
Vietnam
LSD
You've seen the ?
You've seen DNA
Watch them go to the moon
Live on TV

Electric spanking of war babies

Sock it to the circuit
Dead it in addition???
We compute a perfect funk

Electric spanking of war babies (x3)

We compute a funky funk
We compute a perfect funk

Electric spanking of war babies (x7)



Electro-Cuties

{Ron Ford, J Ali, G Clinton}

Yowwwwww--hii!
I'm overloaded
Just blowin' a fuse
Got myself some energy
And I've got to use it
Surgin' through the socket
That, that's it
Electromagnetism
Electromagnetic child
And I'm in my electric vibratory by day
All we do is shout????

Got my finger in the socket
The live wire shocked it to me
Girl, I'm all charged up
(x4)

Cutie, electro-cutie
(shock-it-to-me) (x3)

Got my finger in the socket
The live wire shocked it to me
I'm overloaded

to do is shout?

Cutie (shock-shock-shock-shock-it-to-me)
Electro-cutie (shock-shock-shock-shock-it-to-me)
(x8)

And I'm all wired up
You got to get a hot foot???
Give me hot feet???

Cutie, electro-cutie (givin' me hot feet)

Cutie, electro-cutie
(shock-it-to-me) (x3)

Cutie, electro-cutie

?

Got my finger in the socket
The live wire shocked it to me

is shout?
Yeah!
Oohh, ooh,

Who's that writing on ????
Stay right here
I'll be right back

You can't short-circuit
When kilowatt's shocking to you
(x4)

Electomagnetism
Electromagnetic child
I'm in my vibratory by day

Leaving you with shocks

This old man
He played one
He be AC/DC all night long
With a short-circuit kilowatt ? fuse
This old man he sees the news

And I'm all charged up
Said I'm all charged up
Said I'm all charged up
I'm all charged up
I'm all charged

Cuties, electro-cuties (x2)
(shock-shock-shock-shock-it-to-me) (x8)

Cuties, electro-cuties
I'm all charged up

Shoot the ?
Give them hot feet
(x2)

Shockwaves

{Ron Dunbar, DeWayne McKnight}

Whooaa, I know
Hey, mon
The third world is on the one
Right on the downbeat
Sending out shockwaves throughout the world
Hey, mon
Sending out shockwaves throughout the world

And if I could feel the thrill
A little bit of this (hey)
A little bit of that
Rock and roll will never die (just a little bit)
(Whooo-oohhh-ohhh) I see my feet covered with snow
I want to take my shoes off
And to Jamaica I'll go

Hey, mon
Have you seen the way people get out of trouble?
They just groove

On the one
Everybody is down on the one, two
(x2)

Mmm, hey just one more time for a little bit
(Whooo-oohhh-ohhh) Politicians are struggling
They're wondering what to do
Meanwhile, on Belle Isle
P.Funk is getting off for you!

I'm from the first world (you see)
I like to groove (I'm from the first world)
Don't won't no problems (don't need no problems)
Set up that groove

I'm from the first world
Sending out shockwaves
Whooa-hahhaaa, hey!

Hey, mon
Why you April Fool me, mon?
The Third World is right on the one
Right there on the downbeat
Hey, mon
I'd rather go dancing
Than have a meeting about your problems
On the one, right there, on the downbeat

Sending out shockwaves
Throughout the world
(x2)

Look at my shoes
They're full of holes
Nobody cares, nobody but my toes
Sing!
I'm a-from the first world
I like to groove (I don't need no problems)
Don't want no problems
Set up that groove
I'm a-from a the first world
Sending out, sending out
Shockwaves, shockwaves, shockwaves, shockwaves

Whooaaa, I know
Hey, mon
The Third World is on the one
Right on the downbeat

Sending out shockwaves
Throughout the world

Don't want no problems
Set up that groove

You see

Sending out shockwaves
And as the world turns
I like to groove and move you see
I'm from the first world
I like to groove
Don't want no problems (on these days of our lives)
Set up that groove
I'm from the first world
doing that tonight, JR
You see, if we was in Dallas, you see
He'd say, I'd like to groove
Don't need no problems
And general hospital
I'm from the first world
Sending out shockwaves

Icka Prick

{G Shider, G Clinton}

(let's get the cue track, ok right, what?)
Ahh-ahhh, ahhh
Oh, you ain't seen obscene yet
We gonna be nasty this here time
Check it out, huh
Can you imagine this?
Put on some protection for your ears
?pussy serving land?
Like John Henry the steel drivin' man
Who with a hammer and spike in his hand
Said it's what's up front that cunt
Lifting weights with his tits (icka prick and iron pussy)
Doing pushups with his clit (yucka fuck and muscle cunt)
Disgusting!
Icka prick and iron pussy
Yucka fuck and muscle cunt
There ain't no decent dick in Detroit
Ho, grossin out!
Icka prick and iron pussy (nasty can be ?)
Yucka fucka muscle cunt
If you think that's nasty
Follow me to the men's room
Watch me write on the wall (icka prick and iron pussy)
Graffilthy!
Suck my mind

Oh!
This is equal-opportunity nasty
Here, that helps???
Take it off, take it all off, hey!!
Icka prick and iron pussy (pumpin' to please!)
Yucka fuck and muscle cunt (without humps there will be no gettin' over)
Icka prick and iron pussy
And still, there's no decent dick in Detroit
Icka prick and iron pussy (and that's a gross point of view)
Yucka fuck and muscle cunt (oh you don't???)
Icka prick and iron pussy
Oh, serving pussy from the shoulder
Oh, yeah, you'll get knocked up listening to this (ahhh-ahhh-ahhh)
You'd better put some protection on your ears
This is graffilthy! (ahhhh-ahhh-ahh!)
Can you imagine this?
Get that thing out of here, boy
Ahhh-ahh-ahhh
Icka prick
You're sick!
Who you gonna stick? (can you imagine this?)
That's a counterfeit dick
The shape of things to come
Can you dig it
Can you imagine this?

Icka prick and iron pussy
Yucka fuck and muscle cunt
I can't ????

This ain't about penetration
It's about tenderness and concentration
Friction what gets you off
Oh, you ain't seen obscene yet
Oh!
Follow me to the men's room
Watch me write on the wall
I'll tell it all
Flush you before I go
Wash out my mouth with soap
And shit-talk some mo'!
Let's discuss disgusting
You ain't seen obscene yet
You haven't seen this ??? before
While he's serving pussy from the shoulder
She's serving dick from the head (You haven't seen this ??? before)
Let's discuss disgusting

We gonna be nasty this year (mmmhmmmm)
Elmo MacNasty, mental masturbation
Psychological perversion (hey, hey)

Can you imagine this
Let's go do a quickie
Don't take your clothes off
Follow the ho-ho lines
Freakin' behind the naval blockade
Lookin' through your belly-button window
Let's discuss disgusting
???
Whooa-ooo
Her pussy is on the steel-wool rag
?
Penetration is a drag
It seems like there's no decent cunt in Detroit
Of course, I like to watch

Ahh
Hey!
Ahhhhhh, ahhhhh (x3)
She lifts weights with her tits
He does pushups with his clit
Ahhhh
Can you imagine
I lift weights with my tits, owww
