Butt-To-Butt Recuscitation

{G Clinton, Eddie Hazel, B Worrell}

I'm gonna go back
Come and take me there
I'm gonna go back
Anything beyond compare
(x14)



Let's Take It To The People

{G Clinton, Garry Shider, E Hazel}

Everything is there when you're living in the city
Everything is there in a war
Everything is there in love
Everything is there on stage

Let's take it to the people
Ah, let's take it to the people (let's take it to the stage!)
Ah, let's take it to the stage
Ah, let's take it on my music
Let's take it on my music
Hey baby, that's what I like

Everything is there when you're trying to get over
Everything is there when you're trying to cop
Everything is there if you're sexy
Everything is there on stage

Let's take it to the people
Ah, let's take it to the people (let's take it to the stage!)
Ah, let's take it to the stage
Ah, let's take it on my music
Let's take it on my music
Hey baby, that's what I like



Undisco Kidd

{G Clinton, W Collins, B Worrell}

She's bad! The girl is bad!
Bad! The lady is bad!

Now the kid was kick-back, lining the cut
Eatin' some fish and chips
And this freaky little groupie
>From the funky side of town
Begin to give him some lip
She was babblin' about how bad, ah
She could do the bump
The kid said on the real side of things
Bertha, you got too much rump to bump!

Move, your sexy body
Baby, let me see you move it all across the floor
Move, your sexy body
Every time you wiggle you hear the men holler for more

The girl is bad!

I'm on the ten most wanted list
I've got it dead in the groove
My face is on every wanted poster in town
For the way I move (move)
I'm public enemy #1 (your sexy body)
To the undisco scene
And, kid, if you don't get up your you-know-what and dance with me
(everytime you wiggle you hear the mean holler for more)
I'm gonna be forced to get mean

The kid was cool
He was no fool
He said, "Get the funk off case"
Without missing a beat
Snatchin' him to his feet
She bumped him all in the face

Now the kid was teasin'
He was definitely uncool
Trying to get some hat?
(move your sexy body)
And she bumped him right back
(baby let me see you move it all across the floor)

Move, your sexy body
Baby, let me see you move it on the disco floor
Move, your sexy body
Move your body
Close to mine

Bad! The girl is bad!
Bad! Bad!
Bad! The lady is bad!
Bad! She's bad!

He scream, he shout (move your sexy body)
She turned that sucker out
He scream, he shout (move your sexy body)
She turned that sucker out
Extra, extra, read all about it (move your body)
We got a brand new thang
Makin' headline news (close to mine)
Extra, extra, read all about it
We got a brand new thang
Makin' headline news

Move your sexy body
Baby, let me see you move it all across the floor
Glide, your slender body
Everytime you wiggle, make the men holler for more
Bad! The girl is bad
Real bad! She's bad!
Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad!

He scream, he shout
She turned that mother out
He scream, he shout
She turned that sucker out
He scream, he shout (move your sexy body)
She turned that sucker out
He scream, he shout
She turned that sucker out (close to mine)
He scream, he shout (move your sexy body)
She turned that sucker out
Bad! The girl is bad!
Bad! She's bad!
Bad! She's bad!
Bad! (everytime she wiggle, she make the kid holler for more) Bad!
Move your sexy body
Baby, let me see you move it all across the floor
Glide your slender body
Baby, when you move, you make the men holler for more
Glide your slender body
Everytime you wiggle, you make the men giggle for more
She's bad, the girl is bad!
Everytime she wiggle, she make the kid holler for more
Glide your sexy body
Baby let me see you dancing on the disco floor

Ah-ah-yeah
Everytime she wiggle, she make the kid holler for more
(x6)



Take Your Dead Ass Home

{G Clinton, G Shider, B Worrell, Glen Goins}

{spoken}
(what about the woodpecker thing?)
Yeah, they call me the kid
Sexy man
But I know nothing about the great big H
I'd watch that football game while the hornies occupied my day
I never peeped to where she was coming from
When she'd say, "Though you're here, I'm all alone"
Then she made it perfectly clear
With some inspiring words in a song, dig:

{sung:}
If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home (now light my fire, baby!)
If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home (a-flick-a my Bic, even!)
If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home (I'd love to play in your tidy bowl)
Ha, ha whoo-eee!

There once was a man from Peru
Who went to sleep in his canoe
He was dreaming of Venus
And took out his penis
And woke up with a handfull of goo
Put your foot on the rock!
OK bye!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, aiii! (x2)

There once was some freaks from L.A. (who)
Who came to New York to play
They was busted by the pussy posse
And the prosecutor popped them in the pen
Put your foot on the rock
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, aiii!

Well, flick-a my Bic, baby!

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
(x5)
Well, light my fire baby, flick-a my Bic
I'll come if you call

There once was a man from Peru
Who went to sleep in his canoe (say somethin' nasty!)
He was dreaming of Fifi
And took out his peepee
And woke up with a handfull of goo
Put your foot on the rock!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ohh!

There once was some freaks from L.A. (and what'd they do?)
Who came to New York to play (yeah?)
They was busted by the pussy posse (pussy who?)
And the prosecutor popped them in the pen

There once was some freaks from L.A.
Who came to New York to play (say somethin' nasty)
They was busted by the pussy posse
And the prosecutor popped them in the pen

Get off your ass and jam!
Oh they call me the kid
Let's get it on, y'all

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home (come on baby!)

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
(x4)

It's only rock n' roll

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
(x5)

Now, what did you say?

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
(x6)
{spoken:}
(turn the drums up a little for me...yeah!)
(We're gonna do it one more time, and I want everybody)
(Y'all ready?)
(Are you ready? I'm ready?)
(Hit it!)

{sung:}
If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
(x15)
(come here, ladies. Move in close!)



I'm Never Gonna Tell It

{G Clinton, B Worrell}

Till all my suspicions are gone
I won't have to hear my friends try to tell me I'm wrong
Till all my suspicions are gone
I won't have to hear my friends try to tell me I'm wrong

I'm never gonna tell it, oh
I'm never gonna tell it
I'm never gonna say that you're doing me wrong
Or admit that my trust in you has gone
You'll never find out that we're not getting along
I'm never gonna tell it
Oh no

No one's ever going to know it
I'm never gonna show it
Until the day my suspicions are gone
I won't have to hear my friends try to tell me I'm wrong
You'll always think that we're getting along
I'm never gonna tell it
Oh no

No one's ever gonna see that you put me down girl
You've been a run-around girl, a play girl, a hip-hooray girl
But there's gonna be a change in your foolish ways, girl
This dog will have his day, oh boy girl
It'll be my victory

I'm never gonna tell it
I'm never gonna tell it
I'm never gonna say that you're doing me wrong
Or admit that my trust in you is gone
They'll never find out we're not getting along
I'm never gonna tell it, oh no

No one's ever going to know it
Cause I'm never gonna show it (I'm never gonna show it)
Until the day my suspicions are gone
I won't have to hear my friends try to tell me I'm wrong
You'll always think that we are getting along
I'm never gonna tell it
Oh no

No one's ever gonna see that you put me down girl
You've been a run-around girl, a play girl, a hip-hooray girl
But there's gonna be a change in your foolin' around, girl
This dog will have his day, oh boy girl
It'll be my victory

I'm never gonna tell it
I said I ain't gonna speak on it
Until the day my suspicions are gone
I won't have to hear my friends try to tell me I'm wrong
Until the day my suspicions are gone
I won't have to hear my friends try to tell me I'm wrong

Said I'm not gonna speak on it

Until the day my suspicions are gone
I won't have to hear my friends try to tell me I'm wrong
