[Intro]
We want Rick to funk us up
We want Rick to funk us up
Horns, blow!
Hey
Yeah, yeah
Hey
Sing!
[Chorus]
Hey everyone, tonight we're gonna have fun
Yeah, what you want us to do with the funk?
Fire it up
Hey everyone, tonight we're gonna have fun
Hey, what do you want us to do with the funk?
Fire it up
[Verse 1]
If funky music makes you groove
And you just can't wait to move
And getting off is what you've come here for
Then there's no need to hesitate
'Cause you know I hate to wait
I'll funk you 'til you roll on out the door
[Pre-Chorus]
So wave the funk sign in the air
And show me that you care
You've been sitting on your booty much too long
We'll funk you, but don't go nowhere
If you say it's fun
Then fire up 'cause the show has just begun
Sing!
[Chorus]
Hey everyone, tonight we're gonna have fun
What you want us to do with the funk?
Fire it up
Sing
Hey everyone, tonight we're gonna have fun
Yeah yeah, what you want us to do with the funk?
Fire it up
Blow!
Hey
Yeah, blow
Hey
[Verse 2]
Now don't just sit there in your chairs
Actin' like L-Seven squares
Freak on out, that's what this song's about
Funk is for the young and old
I know you have been told
Don't ever get too hip to sing and shout now
I haven't come to bring you down
Or to turn your head around
Or to tell you what you should or should not do
Funk was made to get you high
That's no alibi
Do what you want, it's all left up to you
Yeah
[Chorus]
Hey everyone, tonight we're gonna have fun
Well, what you want us to do with the funk?
Fire it up
Sing!
Hey everyone, tonight we're gonna have fun
Yeah, what you want us to do with the funk?
Fire it up
Blow!
[Bridge]
People get up and dance to the music
People get up, people get up, people get up
Yo...ho!
People get up and dance to the music
People get up, people get up, people get up
Ho!
Yo...ho!
Hey
Yeah
Hey
Yeah
[Outro]
What you want us to do with the funk?
Fire it up
What you want us to do with the funk?
Fire it up
Say fire it up
Fire it up
Say fire it up
Fire it up
Say fire it up
Fire it up
Ho!
Fire it up!
