Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What are we gonna do tonight?
We should go to a funktion
Ooh, oh, you know I love it, yeah
[Verse 2]
Come on and let me get through
I need to put in on you
You got me hooked up, baby
You know it's breakin' my mind
I want your body all the time
Delicious, she drives me crazy
The perfume that you wear
Seems to hang in the air
It's boogalicious
And while that DJ's bustin' grooves
I've been makin' all the moves to taste your kisses
You know, honey
[Verse 3]
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, party people, get down
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, like that
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 4]
You know we're going to a party
It don't take much to start me
I'm a f-f-freakin' (Yeah, get down)
Some people get their kicks
When their shirts begin to stick
In a s-s-s-sweatdown (I got to get down)
[Verse 5]
Why don't you come on with me, lady?
I don't want to hear your maybes
I wanna get sexual
Girl, you got the body of a goddess
And I want you at your hottest
Ooh, you wanna be my queen? Let's hit the scene
[Verse 6]
Come on to the funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
Man
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now come on and drop it for me, like this
[Verse 7]
We're gonna paint the town red
And then I'm takin' you to bed
To spend the nighttime
And now that rhythm is complete
You got the world at your feet
You're outta sight, honey, come on
You don't have to be suggestive
I just want to get connected
At the party, party
Why don't you groove down with me?
And join my funky family
Ooh, you know
[Verse 8]
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, we're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
Now put your zoot suit on
Because we've got to move along
And we're gonna go dancing
These are disco nights
And the moon is right for romancing
[Verse 10]
Y-y-y-y-you know you're gonna dig it
But you just can't help to swing it
To the music
Now all the girls grab a guy
And the guys grab a thigh, so we can lose it
[Verse 11]
Ooh, what we doing? We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
And get down to the funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll meet you at the funky junction, come on, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now let me hear my man drop it, ah, this time, ah just
[Verse 12]
Now bring it on back, come on, just woo
[Verse 13]
Now we're going to a funktion
Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep
Y-y-y-y-you know you wanna dig it
And you just can't help to swing it at the funktion
Come on
You know you wanna dig it
And you just can't help to swing it at the funktion
F-f-funktion, f-f-funktion
You know you wanna dig it
And you just can't help to swing it at the funktion
You know you wanna dig it
And you just can't help to swing it at the, at the funktion
[Verse 14]
We're going to a funktion, yeah, yeah, yeah

Won't you get down with me sexy lady?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
