Lyrics
Uh, now that the bridge
(Talk)
Is on this side of the border
(Gimme some of that)
Won't y'all come over here with us?
You wanna walk the water?
And if you ever should see
(Oh)
A skunk shake his rump
Tell him to come on over here for some, uh
Some big funk in the dump baby
Now, we got this stick
(Oh)
That will set you free
(Free)
All you got to do is uh, take a closer walk with me
(Yeah)
(Oh-oh-oh)
Now we got this thang
(This thang)
That's full of magic tricks
(No)
So come feel if you will
The magic of the dukey stick
(We want to play for you)
(Play papa)
Hey, yeah
(Ooh, ooh)
(We want to sing to you)
(Oh, we'd been 'round here before)
(We want your hips to move)
(Oh, put my hickey in your hookey, baby)
(We want your lips to groove)
I feel a thrill
(Funky in the dunky)
Uh, I've got this uh magic wand
That's guaranteed to make you come to me baby
To set yourself free
(With the dukey stick)
Mm-hmm, my magic wand can do almost anything
Spitting fire or making rings
But most of all it will make you spread your wings
And fly away
(Talk to me quick)
(Let me know)
Let me know, lover
(We want your mind to blow)
My mind to blow, is that all?
(Let me know)
(Oh, oh)
(We want your mind to blow)
(We want your mind to blow)
Give it to me baby
(Whoa, oh)
(Woo, ooh)
Give it to me, boo-boo
(Let me know)
Oh fly away, baby, let me know
(We want your mind to blow)
You got to blow
(Let me know)
Yeah, hey
(Oh, ooh)
(We want your mind to blow)
(We want to play for you)
Who would take a look?
(We want to sing to you)
I raised a snake
(We want your hips to move)
(We want your lips to groove)
Yeah
(We want to play for you)
(Whoa, oh, yeah)
(We want to sing to you)
(We want your hips to move)
(We want your lips to groove)
(Came to back uh, uh baby)
Nah, if you think this stick's a trick
(Papa)
Then uh, just step up to the funky ship mama
And get your wick uh, flipped a bit
Send the jury
(With the dukey stick)
Hmm, 'cause the dukey stick
Is aware of all, each and everyone one of y'all
And uh, beckons you to come on through
With the skunk with funks of a mare
(Talk to me quick)
(Let me know)
(Oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah)
(We want your mind to blow)
(You got to blow)
