Right down front, here we go y'all
But now there's a brand new dance that's going around
Start your feet to kicking, that's when you know
Then you know you doin' the funky chicken
To make you feel like you want to do something nasty
You doin' the funky chicken
This is the kind, this is the kind of stuff
Doin' the funky chicken, y'all
Let me tell you just what to do, start both of 'em to flapping
Like waste some chicken gravy on your white shirt
Now y'all heard of the popcorn, y'all heard of the dog
I'm talking about the funky chicken, y'all ready?
Doin' the funky chicken, y'all
You flap your arms and your feet start kicking
Then you know, you doin' the funky chicken
You work both arms and you work both feet
You heard about all your other dances
Doin' the funky chicken, y'all
Oh, I'm feeling it now, I feel so unnecessary
Slick and spasm, you put both arms up, across your face
I say y'all ready, okay, here we go
You raise the left arm up and your right arm too
Use a dab of gravy, you right on the beat
You knees start wiggling, all over the place
I want to show you exactly what I'm talking about
You flap your arms and your feet start kicking
