[Verse 1]
Alarm clock ring and it's time to get up
It's time to do that funky strut
I'm a funky man, I got funky bones
I'm a funky man, my name is Dee Dee Ramone
Well, let me tell you about myself
I play the bass in a punk rock band
Been to all over the world, even to Japan
And nothing can surprise me, man
I've seen it all, I had a ball
Someone should make a Dee Dee doll
[Pre-Chorus]
Well alright
I'm a funky guy
Well alright
I'm a funky guy
[Chorus]
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-funky
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-funky
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-funky
[Verse 2]
I'm a lucky guy, I got the world on a string
If I could do it over, I wouldn't change a thing
Sometimes I call myself Dee Dee King
I like to hear the birds on paradise sing
I thank the good man above
That he gave me a sexy blonde to love
Now she wants a Mercedes-Benz
[?] would make more sense
These are the problems I'm gonna have
Better buy that car and not make her mad
Not a millionaire, I'm not doing too bad
When we sell the Camaro, I will be glad
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a funky
Funky guy
I'm a funky
Funky guy
[Chorus]
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-funky
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-funky
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu
[Verse 3]
Didn't have much of an education
I live every day likes it's my vacation
Got a [?] the dog
I'm the one that sings ya... WARTHOG!
For the last ten years I've been doing the bop
And I'm still not tired, I'm never gonna stop
I like what I'm doing and I'm having fun
Here's some advice for everyone
Try to make the most out of every day
And remember that DRUGS DON'T PAY!
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a funky
Funky guy
I'm a funky
Funky guy
[Chorus]
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-funky
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-funky
[Verse 4]
I like rap and hip hop
I like hardcore and punk rock
I like hot-dogs, franks and beans
I grew up in Forrest Hills, Queens
I like to win, don't like to fail
I like to get bills in the mail
I'm a funky guy, I got funky bones
I'm a funky guy, my name is Dee Dee Ramone
[Pre-Chorus]
Well alright
I'm a funky guy
Well alright
I'm a funky guy
[Chorus]
Fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-funky
[Outro]
I'm a funky guy
I'm a funky guy
I'm a funky guy
I'm a funky guy
