Lyrics
What kind of funny little horn you playin'?
Ay Maceo, Maceo, wait a minute
I bet you can't play, I bet you can't play that little funny horn over there behind you
Can you play that little horn?
Come on over here and play with me, brother (I'ma play it way down here)
Hey man, talent just shines, they get together
Looka here, okay brother, make it talk, bring it down
Maceo, Maceo, grab your flute and blow
Maceo, make it soulful, make it soul, I wanna hear that from the low
Maceo, blow, blow
OW! Shh, shh, shh...ucks
UH! UH! UH!
Can you make it soul, fellas, like here?
Gotta have a funky good time
Gotta have a funky good time
Gotta have a funky good time
Gotta have a funky good time
Gotta have a funky good time
You know what? You know what? I like that
Wait a minute, wait a minute, Maceo
Hey Jimmy, give me a little bit of that
And I want Maceo to give me a little bit of flute
Stand down there, brother, you got it
Shucks, chitlins, uh, the hog
The whole hog, chitlins
Ah, chilickens, chilickens, hahahaha
I don't dig chitlins, I don't like chitlins
I'm not a - I don't get so deep on the hog
He take care of his own business when he get down there
Give him a big round of applause, Brother Maceo
Brother, looka here, how do you feel, brother? (I feel all right)
You know, if we went back to the key of F, what would you think of?
Fred, what do you think of when we think of the key of F?
(Uh, key of F, uh, makes me think of, urrah, Friendly)
Oh man, that's really groovy, that's groovy
Brother Maceo, brother, yes Lord
Now what do you think of, brother, when you think of the key of F? (F)
And make it big, brother (Freedom)
Right on! Yeah, yes, haha, yeah, brother, right on...
