ARTHUR CONLEY - FUNKY STREET
(A. Conley; E. Simms)
Atlantic A 7563

One used to be the shotgun
Two used to be the bad boogaloo
Three used to be the swing shingaling
Four used to be the funky "four fingers"

Down on funky street, diggin' the funky beat
Down on funky street that's where the grooviest people meet

From Atlanta Georgia goin' on down to the border
Every boy is dancin' with somebody's daughter

Groovin' in the city
Got to get down with it

Down on funky street we're diggin that funky beat
Down on funky street, that's where the grooviest people meet

Jump up and down and you're turnin' around
You bend your knees half way down to the ground
You move it to the west and you move it to the south
You turn it around and kiss your partner in the mouth

Down on funky street diggin' the funky beat
Down on funky street, where the grooviest people meet

Sweet soul music is in the air
People are comin' from everywhere
Comin' from the east, comin' from the west
Dancin' with the one they love the best

One, c'mon everybody, you got to hit the floor
Three, c'mon baby and go with me
Two used be the bad boogaloo
One, got to have just a little fun

Down on funky street, diggin' the funky beat
Down on funky street, diggin' the funky beat
Down on funky street, diggin' the funky beat
