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