Dr. Funkenstein (Live/1977)

[Intro: George Clinton]
Whoa, they say the bigger the headache, the bigger the pill, baby
Dr. Funkenstein, they call me The Big Pill
I want everybody in here tonight to put our hands together
And give up the funk, 'cause it's 'bout that time
Is everybody ready?
Are you ready out there?
Let me hear you sing it for me one time, y'all, before we get started
Sing it loud

[Chorus: Parliament & Crowd, George Clinton]
Wе love to funk you, Funkenstein, your funk is thе best
(Sing it loud for me)
Take my body, give it the mind to funk with the rest
Hit me with the one and then, if you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Whoa, they say the bigger the headache, the bigger the pill, baby
Well, they call me The Big Pill, Dr. Funkenstein here
The disco fiend with the monster sounds
The grove ghoul with the bump transplant
My hip bone connected to my thigh bone
My thigh bone connected to my leg bone
Leg bone connected to my ankle bone
I get so hung up on my bone
Dr. Funkenstein here
Preoccupied and dedicated to the preservation of the motion of hips
Are you ready out there?
We gon' do it one more time, I want everybody to sing it this time
Hey horns, do it again

[Chorus: Parliament & Crowd, George Clinton]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein, your funk is the best
(Talk)
Take my body, give it the mind to funk with the rest
(Kiss me on my ego)
Hit me with the one and then, if you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
(Give me the horn again)

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Dr. Funkenstein here
Swift lippin', ego trippin' and body snatchin'
Comin' to you directly from the Mothership
Pulling up the last leg of the P-Funk
Inhale that, y'all
Ain't nothin' but a party, y'all, woo

Dr. Funkenstein here
We gon' funk with your mind tonight
Keep it movin', fellas
Sang

[Chorus: Parliament & Crowd, George Clinton]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein, your funk is the best
Take my body, give it the mind to funk with the rest
(Kiss me on my ego)
Hit me with the one and then, if you like, hit me again
(Say what?)
We love to Funk-a-stein

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Everything is on the one, y'all
On the one, on the one
We love, we love, we love, we love
We love, we love, we love, we love
Come on wit' it
Dig, horn, dig this
Microbiologically speaking, when I start churnin', burnin' and turnin'
It'll make your atoms move so fast, expandin' your molecules
Causing a friction fire, burning you on your neutron
Causing you to scream, "Hit me in the proton", baby
Can y'all get with that?
Can y'all get with that?

Hey, horns, hey, fellas, I want y'all to hold it right there, we gon' give 'em some of this P-Funk
Keep that groove right there
Hey Fred, y'all put your hands together, we gon' hold this groove shit
We ain't goin' nowhere so don't be impatient
The roof is going off this sucker tonight

[Instrumental break]

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Everybody sing

[Chorus: Parliament & Crowd, George Clinton]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein, your funk is the best
Take my body, give it the mind to funk with the rest
(Kiss me on my ego)
Hit me with the one and then, if you like, hit me again
(We gon' do it again but with everybody, keep that one together, y'all)
We love to Funk-a-stein
(Everybody sing it this time)
We love to funk you, Funkenstein, your funk is the best
(Talk)
Take my body, give it the mind to funk with the rest
Hit me with the one and then, if you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
We love to funk you, Funkenstein, your funk is the best
Take my body, give it the mind to funk with the rest
Hit me with the one and then, if you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
We love to funk you, Funkenstein, your funk is the best
Take my body, give it the mind to funk with the rest
Hit me with the one and then, if you like, hit me again
We love, we love, we love, we love to Funk-a-stein

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Maceo, ayo, Maceo, Maceo, blow

[Maceo Parker saxophone solo]

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Hey Fred, both of y'all together, keep goin', don't stop now
Come on wit' it, on the one

[Fred Wesley trombone solo with Maceo Parker saxophone solo]

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Hey Michael, hey Michael, come in, all the way upstairs
Keep goin', fellas
One, on the one

[Michael Hampton guitar solo]

[Interlude: George Clinton]
My hip bone connected to my thigh bone
My thigh bone connected to my leg bone
Leg bone connected to my ankle bone
Oh, I get so hung up on bones
Dr. Funkenstein here
Preoccupied and dedicated to the preservation of the motion of hips
Love is here tonight, flow, flow

[Instrumental break]

[Outro: Parliament & Crowd]
We love to funk you, Funkenstein, your funk is the best
Take my body, give it the mind to funk with the rest
Hit me with the one and then, if you like, hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein
