Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't it funky now
Ain't it funky now
Ain't it funky now
Ain't it funky
Ain't it funky now
Taste the organ
Taste the organ
[Verse 2]
Ain't it funky now
Ain't it funky
Hit me
[Verse 3]
Good God now
Ain't it funky now
Hit it
Funky
Feel the mack nasty
Ain't it funky
The preacher daughter
Good God, get it
Feel that
The  mack nasty
Ain't it funky
Get it
[Verse 4]
Hey you
Hey you
Hey
Hey you
Come here
Hey, you
Look here
Can you play that thing?
Can you play that thing?
Now give me a little taste
Make it mellow
Let it ooze out
Really, bring it up
Good
Good God
Make it funky
[Verse 5]
Say Jabo
Brother
Do you like it?
Sure is funky now
Do you like it?
But it's funky now
Good God
Do you like it?
Yes, it's funky now
Yes, it's funky now
[Verse 6]
Brother
Man, quit that noise over there
Take it down
Let me concentrate
Bring it down
Good God
Kush
Fred, help him
Play Kush part Fred, so I can let Kush solo
[Verse 7]
Kush, you outta be ashamed of yourself
Leave that little horn alone
Good God
Be quiet
Let me get in my thing
[Verse 8]
Good God
Take it down so I can make these hits over here
Make 'em
[Verse 9]
Good God
[Verse 10]
Yesterday, Clyde
Hold this on the jab so I can get this song some organ
[Verse 11]
Don't get so deep, did you hear
Jack, why you wanna get so deep in it, brother?
'Cause it's just funky now
Is it mellow, brother?
Real, real funky
Is it funky, brother?
Filthy
Mack nasty
I'm with you
[Verse 12]
YEAH
YEAH
Take it out
Take it out
Take it out
TAKE IT OUT
Man, take that thing out
Now who wants the whip?
