[Verse 1]
Coleman, Coleman, you know what?
This thing would really be groovy if we had a little bit of B.B. King in there
Give us a little bit of B.B.! Come on!
Goin' down now, goin' down now, goin' down there
You better get a wind here now down sayin' that thing
Go on down there, give me some B.B.!
Make me think about "Sweet Little Angel"
Come on!
[Outro]
Hey, hey Fred, let's go on out with the bridge
Fred, let's go out with the bridge
[Intro]
Very funky
Gotta make it funky one more time, Fred (Yeah!)
Gotta make it funky (Make it funky!)
[Refrain]
Make it funky, make it funky, make it funky, make it funky!
Make it funky, make it funky, make it funky, make it funky!
Make it funky, make it funky, make it funky, make it funky!
Make it funky, make it funky, make it funky, make it funky!
[Verse 2]
Fred, Fred, slide your slide, slide your slide, Fred
Fred, wait a minute, wait a minute, Fred
I see you got a funny-looking horn there
That's a black horn, why is it black?
You call that a what? Oh, looka here
'Cause mine don't look like that horn, but, haha, looka here
Yeah, you told me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you said you were from LA, yeah, that's Lower Alabama
Yeah, alright, I got another name, Byrd, but, uh
I ain't gon' get too deep in on it
You know, that's a, that's a hip thing, though
See how that cat slide to get that groove, see that
Slide, if you hit that slide
I know you were slick, he had to be slick when he was on the corner
He sure got a lot of slide
Yeah, I guess that's when you comin' out to join us
'Cause the man gon' get to him now
So brother, can you slide us on into Grooveland?
Take me to Loveland, take me to Grooveland
