Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey ladies in the place I'm callin' out to ya
There never was a city kid truer and bluer
There's more to me than you'll ever know
And I got more hits than Sadaharu Oh
Tom Thumb, Tom Cushman or Tom Foolery
Dating women on TV with the help of Chuck Woolery
Words are flowing out just like the Grand Canyon
And I'm always out looking for a female companion
I threw the lasso around the tallest one and dragged her to the crib
I took off her moccasins, put on a bib
I'm wheelin' and dealin' I make a little bit of a stealin'
I'll bring you back to the place and your dress I'm peelin'
Your body's on time and your mind is appealin'
Staring at the cracks up there up on the ceilin'
Such and such be the bass that I'm throwin'
I'm talking to the girl, telling her I'm all-knowin'
She's talking to the kid (To the who? To the kid)
I'm telling her every lie that you know that I never did
[Verse 2]
Hey ladies... get funky
[Verse 3]
Well, me in the corner with a good looking daughter
I dropped my drawers, said "Welcome back, Kotter"
We was cutting up the rug, she started cutting up the carpet
In my apartment, I begged her "Please, stop it"
The gift of gab is the gift that I have
And that girl ain't nothin' but a crab
Educated? No. Stupid? Yep
And when I say stupid I mean stupid fresh
I'm not James at 15 or Chachi in charge
I'm Adam and I'm adamant about living large
With the white sassoons and the looks that kill
Makin' love in the back of my Coupe de Ville
I met a little cutie, she was all hopped up on zootie
I liked the little cutie but I kicked her in the booty
'Cause I don't kinda go for that messin' around
You be listening to my records, a number one sound
Just step to the rhythm, step, step to the ride
I've got an open mind so why don't you all get inside
Tune in, turn on to a tune that's live
Ladies flock like bees to a hive
[Verse 4]
Hey ladies... Get funky
[Verse 5]
She got a gold tooth, you know she's hardcore
She'll show you a good time and then she'll show you the door
Break up with your girl, it ended in tears
Vincent van Gogh, go and mail that ear
I call her in the middle of the night when I'm drinking
The phone booth on the corner is damp and it's stinking
She said come on over, it was me that she missed
I threw that trash can through her window 'cause you know I got dissed
Your old lady left you and you went insane
You blew yourself up in the back of the 6 train
Take my advice at any price
A gorilla like your mother is mighty weak, man
Sucking down pints until I didn't know
Woke up in the morning with the Won-Ton-Ho
'Cause I announce I like girls that bounce
With a weight that pays about a pound per ounce
Girls with curls and big long locks
And beatnik chicks just wearing their smocks
Walking high and mighty like she's number one
"She thinks she's the passionate one"
[Verse 6]
Hey ladies... Get funky
[Verse 7]
Hey, hey, hey, hey ladies
Hey, hey ladies
