Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One used to be the shotgun
Two used to be the bad boogaloo
Three used to be the swing shing-a-ling
Four used to be the funky four formers
[Verse 2]
Down on funky street
Digging the funky beat
We're down on funky street
That's where the grooviest people meet
[Verse 3]
From Atlanta Georgia
Going down to the border
Every boy is dancing
With somebody's daughter
They grooving in the city
Got to get down with it
[Verse 4]
Down on funky street
We're digging that funky beat
We're down on funky street
That's where the grooviest people meet
[Verse 5]
Jump up and down and you turn around
You bend your knees halfway down to the ground
You move it to the west, you move it to the south
You turn around and kiss your partner in the mouth
[Verse 6]
Down on funky street
Digging that funky beat
Down on funky street
Where the grooviest people meet
[Verse 7]
Sweet soul music is in the air
People, they're coming from everywhere
They're coming from the east, coming from the west
Dancing with the one that they love the best
[Verse 8]
Four, everybody got to hit the floor
Three, come on, babe, and go with me
Two used to be the bad boogaloo
One got to have just a little fun
[Verse 9]
Down on funky street
Digging the funky beat
Down on funky street
We're doing funky four corners
Down on funky street
Digging the funky beat
