Merely a kiss
Why is everyone afraid to say:
Kiss me baby! (make it?)
Whoa, yeah
Kiss me baby!
Kiss me
I like it like that

Play with your emotions
Go ahead, brother
Release all of those feelings
We don't need no words
Just feelings
Do it again brother, oh!
One more time, oh!

Oh!
I recall when I left a little town in North Carolina
I tried to escape this music
I said it was for the old country folks
I went to New York
Got slick
Got my hair made, hehheheheh
I was cool, heh heh
I was cool
But I had no groove, hehheheh
No groove, no groove, no groove, no groove
I had no groove
But here it comes!
But now, fly on baby
Here it comes
Cuz I got it
Fly on baby
You got it
Dig

Dig, baby
You got it
You got it now
You got it
Fly on
Fly on sisters
Play on brothers
Ba-ba ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba ba
Ba-ba ba ba bomp bomp buh buh buh buh bah!

Woo-ooh!
Ice cubes on a red hot stove will melt, and I bet ya
A drowning man's very first words is help, I bet you
If you bet on a horse and the horse don't win, you lose and I betcha

Take a car without fuel, ain't gonna move, and I betcha
A carpenter can't build his house without his tools, I bet you
If the shoes are too small they hurt your feet, and I betcha
You can't know what's going on if you're asleep, I bet ya
If you want a winning hand
If you want a perfect man
Ha!
Betcha never lose my love

Oh yeah!
Betcha never lose my love

{variations continue til end}
Man, I was in a place
Called Keeprunnin', Mississippi one time
And I heard someone on my way by
Sounded a little something like raw funk to me
So I slowed down and took a listen
And this is all I could hear, baby
Whoa-hah-hey
Whoa-hah-ha
(x5)
It got so good to me, man, that I stopped runnin'
My feets was tired anyhow
So I reached in my inside pocket
And got my harp out
Sit down by old beat-up railroad train
And get me get myself
A little of that old funky thang
{vocal "harmonica" solo}
Yeah!
Yeah, I'm ?
Yeah, whoa!
Yeah
Mm-m-hmmm
Yeah
Can you all feel what I mean?
This is what you call
Waaay-back yonder funk
Whoa ha hey
Whoa ha ha
(x19)
Say it loud!
I'm funky and I'm proud!
I'm aging!
Old funk
I got a thing
You got a thing
Everybody's got a thing
When we get together, doin' our thing
In order to help each other
In order to help your brother
(x2)
You don't drink what I drink
You don't smoke what I smoke
You don't think like I think
You don't joke like I joke
I got a thing
You got a thing
Everybody's got a thing
When we get together, doin' our thing
In order to help each other
In order to help your brother
(Shake your head)
Everybody's gettin' funky
In the days when the funk was gone
I recall not long ago
When the funk it was goin' strong
Now they were rocking upside the wall (to funky music)
Rockin' out in the hall (to funky music)
Now they were jumpin' up and having a ball (to funky music)
Music's got them beggin' for more
Give me more, give me more
Come on
Give me more
Give me more of that
Good old funky music, yeah
Good old funky music, yeah
Yes, indeed they're movin'
Yes, they are doin' it to and fro
Yes, indeed they're groovin'
To that music that will let them go
You know they started somewhere round about midnight (to funky music)
And they rocked it all night until daylight (to funky music)
Music that was groovin' my mother (to funky music)
It's groovy for my sister and brother
Give me more, give me more (come on, let's sing it together)
Give me more
Give me more of that
Good old funky music, yeah
Good old funky music, yeah
Music that was groovin' my mother (funky music)
It's groovy for my sister and brother
Good old funky music, yeah
Good old funky music, yeah
I'm not conceited by no means (yeah)
I just know what I'm capable of
But if you're looking for some love
I'm qualified to satisfy
Now if your man ain't where it's at (yeah)
Now if he's as corny as that (yeah)
Just tell the square to get his hat (oww!)
I'm qualified to satisfy
Owwwww!
Yeah
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
