Funky Drummer (Pt. 1 & 2) Lyrics

Pull back the cover
Shades, good God, it′s a raid
Cut off the lights
And call the law, huh
Cut off the lights
And call the law

Standing over there, huh
The devil's son-in-law

Huh, call the law, call the law
Huh, the devil′s son-in-law, huh

Huh, bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Make me sweat, huh

Huh, still good
Still good
Still good
It's still good

Turn over
Turn over
Soulful Rover
Turn over
Turn over
Turn over

Carry in the chains
Take me in the chains
Take me in the chains
Huh, take me now
Good God, huh

Honky-tonk women
Is all I need
I remember brand-new breed
Honky-tonk women
Is what I want

Fellas, one more time
I wanna give the drummer some of this funky soul we got here
You don't have to do no solo, brother
Just keep what you got
Don′t turn it loose
′Cause it's a mother

When I count to four, I want everybody to lay off
Let the drummer go
When I count to four, I want you to come back in
Huh

You send him a car
I got to holler
I said it′s in my feet
Feels so sweet
It's in my shake, good God
About to work me to death

It′s in my shake
About to work me to death
It's in my shake
I′m about to blow
I'm about to blow

One, two, three, four
Get it
God, huh

Ain't it funky?
Ain′t it funky?
Ain′t it funky?
Ain't it funky?
One, two, three, four

The name of this tune is "The Funky Drummer"
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
The funky drummer

The funky drummer
Maceo
He′s at the funky drummer floor

The funky drummer

The funky drummer
The funky drummer
Let's play out and let this funky drummer take it out
One, two, three, four
The funky drummer
