Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Get up, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
[Verse 2]
They're doing it down in Nassau
Drive that funky soul
They're doing it by the beach, hah
Driving that funky soul
[Verse 3]
New York, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
Let your body pop
And let your feelings flow
[Verse 4]
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
[Verse 5]
When I say Sagittarius
Drive that funky soul
When I say Pisces, holler
And drive your funky soul
When I say Gemini, heh
And drive that funky soul
When I say Capricorn, whoa
Drive your funky soul
When I say Scorpio, Virgo
Drive your funky soul
If I say Cancer
Can you drive that funky soul?
[Verse 6]
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
Slaughter, get on up, get yourself together
Drive that funky soul
Leo, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
Aquarius, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
[Verse 7]
Get up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Fred, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
[Verse 8]
Drivin', drivin', I need some money
Do you need some money?
Drive your funky soul
The cats on the corner
Drive that funky soul
The girl that's standing out there
Drive that funky soul
[Verse 9]
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that
Raise up, get yourself together
Drive that funky
[Verse 10]
Fred, hit it! Hit it!
Hit it!
[Verse 11]
In Nassau and Germany
They're driving that funky soul
In Georgia, they're driving that funky soul
They're driving that funky soul in Washington and Baltimore
Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago
St. Louis, Houston
I said Dallas
Waco
[Verse 12]
Next door neighbor
They're driving that funky soul
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
