Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey, come on, come along take a ride
There's a party over there, that ain't no jive
It's live, live, it's all the way live
Don't even have to walk, don't even have to drive
Just slide, glide, slippity-slide
Just forget about your troubles and your 9 to 5
And just sail on, that's what you do, just sail on
Now this groove's so funky, hey, what do you think?
What is it called? It's called a Lakeside stank
[Chorus]
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
[Verse 1]
I'm the captain of this vessel
We wanna take you on a cruise
All around the land, music is at hand, huh
We wanna play it for you
You see, we want to be
We want to be your crew of entertainers
Jam to the music
Jam to the beat
Jam, yeah
Don't let nothing restrain you (Uh-huh)
[PreChorus]
We just want you to feel
Nothing but pleasure, musical pleasure (Pleasure, yeah, yeah)
Our music is very real, truly a treasure (It's really real, a treasure)
Musical treasure
[Chorus]
Come along, pack your bags, get on up and jam y'all
Come on and ride on the funk, y'all
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
[Verse 2]
We're the directors of this groove ship
And you are under our command, yeah
What you should do is take a listen, too
So you can understand
You know, we like to see
People havin' a good time
Everybody happy
Do you wanna party?
We create the beat
That foot stompin' music
That keeps the people dancin' (Uh-huh)
[PreChorus]
We just want you to feel nothing but pleasure (We just want you to feel)
Musical pleasure (Want you to feel)
'Cause music is a world of fantasy (It's a fantasy)
Let's live it together, musical pleasure (A pleasure)
So come along beyond the sea (Dance in the sunshine)
Take a load off of your mind
Our music is very real (So very real)
Truly a treasure, musical treasure
[Chorus]
Come along, pack your bags, get on up and jam y'all
Come on and ride on the funk, now
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage (Come along, ride the boat, hey, bring it on me)
To the Land of Funk
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage (Do you wanna ride with me)
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage (Do you wanna go, ah)
To the Land of Funk, Funk, Funk
To the Land of Funk, to the Land of Funk, to the Land of Funk
[Bridge]
Hey, come on, come along take a ride
There's a party over there, that ain't no jive
It's live, live, it's all the way live
Don't even have to walk, don't even have to drive
Just slide, glide, slippity-slide
Just forget about your troubles and your 9 to 5
And just sail on, that's what you do, just sail on
Now the groove's so funky, hey, what do you think?
What is it called? It's called a Lakeside stank
If you're ready to party and you wanna get down
Bring your ma, your pa, and brother James Brown
Bring Auntie Em and Toto too
And all the party people to do their do
We'll dance and party till the early light
And say, "Hey, we're feelin' alright"
So come along, climb on, take a ride
There's a party over there, that ain't no lie
We're leavin' here in a cloud of smoke
And th-that-th-th-that-th-th-that's all folks
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We just want you to feel (We just want you to feel)
Nothing but pleasure, musical pleasure
'Cause music is a world of fantasy
Let's live it together, musical pleasure (Together, we want you to feel)
So come along beyond your seat (Come along beyond the seat, dance in the sunshine)
Take a load off of your mind
Our music is very real (So very real)
Truly a treasure, musical treasure
[Outro]
Hurry up, pack your bags and jam y'all
Come on and ride on the funk now
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage (Do you wanna go, do you wanna go, do you wanna go, do you wanna go)
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage (Come-a, come-a, come-a, come on, come on now to the Land of Funk)
Do you wanna party, do you wanna jam (To the Land of Funk)
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
Come on and dance in the sunshine
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
