Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I lay me down to sleep
Ooh, I just can't find a beat
Flash light, oh, I will never dance
Flash light
Flash light
Flash light
[Verse 2]
Oh it's no use
Flash light
Red light
Neon light
Ooh, stop light
[Verse 3]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I guess I'll go count the sheep
Oh, cause I will never dance
[Verse 4]
Oh, don't make me do it
Dance sucker
Get him
[Verse 5]
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
[Verse 6]
Oh funk me
Dance noise, you know you on my funk street
Get it down, Nose, I like it dance then
[Verse 7]
Flash light, flash light
Spot light, spot light
Neon light, neon light
Street light, street light
[Verse 8]
Everybody's got a little light under the sun
Shining on the funk, shining on the funk
Shining on the funk
[Verse 9]
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk, help him find the funk
[Verse 10]
Flash light, flash light, flash light
Flash light, flash light, flash light
Flash light, flash light
Flash light, flash light
Flash light, flash light
Neon light, neon light
Flash light, flash light
Stop light, stop light
[Verse 11]
Now I lay me down to sleep
I guess I'll go count the sheep
Shake your funk
Shake your funk
Shake your rump
I think I found the funk
[Verse 12]
Flash light, flash light
Day light, day light
Spot light, spot light
Red light, red light
[Verse 13]
Everybody's got a little light under the sun
Everybody's got a little light under the sun
Under the sun, under the sun, under the sun, under the sun
Under the sun, under the sun, under the sun, under the sun
