Lyrics
Hey, everybody
Hey, everybody
Feel it in your body
Feel it everybody
People, won't you come along
Get down to the funky song
Everybody in the street
Get down to the funky beat
Feel it
You
You, you
You, you, you, you, you
You, you, you, you, you
You and you, you, you and you
Feel it
You
You and you
You, and you, you, you, and you
You, and you, you, you, and you
Listen everybody, we got something new
Droppin' from the Funky Four
Yes, it's meant for you
We just got the rhythm, we just got the word
Put it all together, this is what we heard:
"Music, funky music
So, get down, feel it now
Feel it now-now-now-now-na-now"
People, won't you come along
Get down to the funky song
Everybody in the street
Get down to the funky beat
Beat, beat, beat
Shi-ka-oww, uh-uh, ha-ha
Shi-ka-oww, uh-uh, ha-ha
Shi-ka-oww, uh-uh, ha-ha
Shi-ka-oww, uh-uh, Sha-Rock
Party people are ready to rock
And if you want to be down you got to gimme what you got
Fly fellas in the place won't steer you wrong
You got to give it up or leave leave it alone
Hey, pretty baby, you look fresh
That means sweet good enough for Jazzy Jeff
I wanna take you on a trip all around the world
Let me tell ya, Jeff's lookin' for a nasty girl
Well, I'm Keith Keith from New York City
Here to rock, won't take no pity
I can feel it in my body, can you feel it in your soul?
Come on everybody, let's take control
Hey, everybody
Hey, everybody
Feel it in your body
Feel it everybody
People, won't you come along
Get down to the funky song
Everybody in the street
Get down to the funky beat
Now on the count of three, feel it with me
Now on the count of three, feel it with me
One, two, three
Everybody, feel it (Come on)
Feel it (Come on)
Feel it (Come on)
Feel it, ho (Feel it, ho)
So, come on everybody and get on down with us
Ain't no fun without the party people
Guests y'all are of us
Feel it in the way you walk up
Feel it as you leave
But feel it with the whiskey and water
Funky rap is on the menu
You got to feel it
You got to feel it
Boogie down, boogie down
Boogie dow-dow-dow-dow-dow-down
Shi-ka-pow
Shi-ka, shi-ka, shi-ka, shi-ka, shi-ka

A shi-ka, a shi-ka, shi-ka, shik, shik, shik
Shi-ka-pow
Shi-ka, shi-ka, shi-ka, shi-ka, shi-ka

Uh, shi-ka-oww, uh-uh, ah-ah
Uh, shi-ka-oww, uh-uh, ah-yaah
Rock to the beat 'cause it's so sweet
Get hit, too legit, this's '83
Get up out your chair and on the floor
Baby, boogie to the beat 'cause we got more
