Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whoa
They say the bigger the headache, the bigger the pill, baby
Call me the big pill, Dr. Funkenstein
The disco fiend with the monster sound
The cool ghoul with the bump transplant
[Verse 2]
Hip bone connected to my thigh bone
My thigh bone connected to my leg bone
My leg bone connected to my ankle bone
I get so hung up on bones
Dr. Funkenstein here
Preoccupied and dedicated to the preservation of the motion of hips
[Verse 3]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein
Your funk is the best (Talk)
Take my body, give it the mind
To funk with the rest (Kiss me on my ego)
[Verse 4]
Hit me with the one and then
If you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
Dr. Funkenstein, king of the funk, yeah
[Verse 5]
Swift lipping, and ego tripping, and body snatching
I'll blow your mind
Coming to your directly form the mothership
Pulling up the last leg of the P. Funk
Well alright
[Verse 6]
Dr. Funkenstein, yeah
He'll funk with your mind
[Verse 7]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein
Your funk is the best (Let me hear it for me)
Take my body, give it the mind
To funk with the rest
[Verse 8]
Hit me with the one and then
If you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
[Verse 9]
Microbiologically speaking, when I start churning, burning, and turning
I'll make your atoms move so fast, expanding your molecules
Causing a friction fire, burning you on your neutron
Causing you to scream, hit me in the proton, baby
[Verse 10]
Hit me with the one and then
If you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
Ooh-wee
[Verse 11]
I hope you all got your sunglasses on out there
Yeah, what's up? It's really gonna blow your mind
[Verse 12]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein
Your funk is the best (Talk)
Take my body, give it the mind
To funk with the rest (Kiss me on my ego)
[Verse 13]
Hit me with the one and then
If you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
[Verse 14]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein
Your funk is the best
Take my body, give it the mind
To funk with the rest
[Verse 15]
Hit me with the one and then
If you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
[Verse 16]
Ain't nothing but a party, baby
Swift lipping, and ego tripping, and body snatching
The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill
They call me the big pill
[Verse 17]
Hit me with the one and then
If you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
[Verse 18]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein
Your funk is the best
Take my body, give it the mind
To funk with the rest
[Verse 19]
Hit me with the one and then
If you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
[Verse 20]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein
Your funk is the best
Take my body, give it the mind
To funk with the rest
[Verse 21]
Hit me with the one and then
If you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein...
