If you listen to “Give up the Funk” as a single, outside the context of Mothership Connection, it’s just a good funk dance track with lyrics that seem to serve no purpose beyond rallying you to the dance floor. In the Mothership Connection story, though, this is the climax of an alien invasion.

Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker) Lyrics
Tear the roof off, we're gonna tear the roof off the mothersucker
Tear the roof off the sucker
(x4)
You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down
There's a whole lot of rhythm going round
(x2)
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk
We gotta have that funk
(x2)
La la la la la
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!
(x2)
You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down
There's a whole lot of rhythm going round
(x2)
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk
We gotta have that funk
(x2)
La la la la la
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!
(x2)
We're gonna turn this mother out (x2)
You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down
There's a whole lot of rhythm going round
(x4)
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk (let us in we'll tear this mother out {after 2nd & 3rd})
We gotta have that funk
(x7)
Ow, we want the funk (we're gonna turn this mother out)
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk (we're gonna turn this mother out)
We gotta have that funk
(x2)
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk (let us in we'll tear this mother out {after 2nd & 3rd})
We gotta have that funk

We need the funk
We gotta have that funk

La la la la la
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!

You've got a real type of thing going down, gettin' down
There's a whole lot of rhythm going down
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk (let us in we'll tear this mother out {after 2nd & 3rd})
