when it's on the one
you know the funk's begun
when you're down and out
there ain't no doubt
you need the funk
bring the funk
bring the funk

now what's the problem
everybody's got them
just get the hole
out of your soul
and bring the funk
bring me the funk
bring the funk

if you got a glass closet
don't you throw no bones
there's only getting
until the getting's gone
so pass me the funk
got to have my funk
i need my funk
got to have my funk
some are jiving
some are shuck
some are just
down on their luck
they just need the funk
they go to have the funk
just bring 'em some funk
just bring the funk
bring it
stay black
stay white
stay brown
just get on down
bring the funk
got to bring the funk
bring the funk
i need it

well it's got to be solid
that's what you call it
funk me up funk me down
funk me sideways funk me all ways
bring the funk
got to bring the funk
bring the funk

some things money can't fix
some things only money will do the trick
it's not the end of the world
but i can see it from here
so bring me the funk
just bring me the funk
bring the funk
