They said, "Come on, Cholly
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to roll
We'd love to take you, Cholly, when we go
Funk gettin' ready to go
(They promise they would play it one more time)
Find the void that you missed
Next thing I know they were saying something like this
I didn't know where they was trying to take me
Funk, gettin' ready to go
I would get lost in my dreams
I would fly but never too high
But I ran into a friend
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to go
You know it was in my head, it was in my feet
Funk gettin' ready to go
I dug jazz, I dug rock
(Maybe I will)
Funk gettin' ready to go
No, my funk just can't hide
Funk, gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
I started to analyze what they were trying to tell me
Who told me there was so much more
Funk gettin' ready to roll
We like to take you, Cholly, when we roll
Funk gettin' ready to roll
We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we go
Funk gettin' ready to go
There is plenty to explore
We like to take you, Cholly, when we go
We want to take you, Cholly, when we go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
We want to take you somewhere"
Funk gettin' ready to roll
(You wanna take me?)
Now that the door is open wide
We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we roll
'Cause my funk deserted me
Anything with a swing
(Well, if you'd play me just a little bit more)
You know right about that time
And all my funk just can't hide
With the syndrome left behind
I would dance, I would sing
Funk gettin' ready to roll
But if we play you just a little more
