[Verse]
Funky thing, ding-a-lang
Betty bought a diamond ring
Diamond ring had a crack
Betty cussed and took it back (Funky life)
Believe that (Funky life)
Funky life, uh, I've been told
All that glitters is not gold
No, gold is non-reality
Mama, real is what you lays on me (Funky sweaters)
Funky feet (Funky bitter?)
Funky sweet, hey
Funky sweater, funky feet
Funky bitter, and funky sweet
Ah, funky sweater, a funky feet
Funky bitter, funky sweet (Sweet funk is a lady)
(Huh?)
I said sweet funk is a lady dressed in black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack (Oh Mary Mack)
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
