So wide can't get around it
So low you can't get under it
(So low you can't get under it)
So high you can't get over it
(So high you can't get over it)
Da-yee do do do do do do

Dance your way
Out of your constrictions
(Tell sugah)
Here's a chance to dance our way
out of our constrictions
Gonna be freakin'!
Up and down
Hang up alley way
With the groove our
Only guide
We shall all be moved

Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down on the one which
We believe in
One nation under a groove,
gettin' down just for the funk
(Can I get it on my good foot)
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
(Good God)
'bout time I got down one time
One nation and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now
(Aye aye aye aye aye)
Feet don't fail me now
Give you more of what you're funkin' for
Feet don't fail me now
Do you promise to funk?
The whole funk, nothin' but the funk

Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down on the one which we believe in
Here's my chance to dance my way
Out of my constrictions
(Do do dee oh doo)
(Do do dee oh doo)
(You can dance away)

Feet don't fail me now (ha ha)
Here's a chance to dance
Our way out of our constrictions

Gonna be groovin' up and down
Hang up alley way
The groove our only guide

We shall all be moved
Feet don't fail me now (ha ha)
Givin' you more of what you're funkin' for
Feet don't fail me now

Here's my chance to dance my way
out of my constrictions
Givin' you more of what you're funkin' for
(Feet don't fail me now)
(Feet don't fail me now)
Do you promise to funk, the whole funk,

One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
One nation and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now
Nothin' can stop us now
One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
One nation and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now

One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
(Here's my way to dance my way out)
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
One nation
And we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now

Do you promise to funk, the whole funk?
You can't stop us now
Givin' you more of what you're
Funkin' for

'Bout that time
They asked me where was I going
Ya know
I, said, well
You have to be reasonable
So you know
I've never been away from home before
And, uh, besides
They gave me a good deal
And I think that, uh
Funkadelica is
You know, the nation,
Uh, you know, I would like to, live under
(What in the world is this boy talking about?)

Of da United Funk of Funkadelica

I pledge groovallegiance to the flag
Of funky, funky, funkadelica, yeah

With the united funk we can fly!

For if our cause was unjust
We couldn't bring this funk to you.
So we feel that it's a must
It is something we should do

Let me take you by the hand
And spread the funk across the land
It's not hard to understand
Headin' for the master plan...

Take my funk and let it grow
And then we'll funk some more

Please come on, come all to the funk
Let your feelings grow as one
Join this nation, you will see

You'd see we need to draw the line
When we do I'm sure you'll find
That we come to free your mind
Oh yeah

Do-doop--doop do-do-wow
Doobie-doobie-doop-do-wow

Do you promise to funk, the whole funk and
Nothing but the funk
Go funk-um

(--Chanted, repeated after each line--)

The world is a toll-free toilet
Our mouths neurological assholes
And psychologically speaking
We're in a state of mental diarrhoea
Talking shit a mile a minute
Or in a state of constipated notions
Can't think of nothin' but shit
And in this world of stinkin' futures,
Shitty memories,
Constipated 19 now-nows
Emerges from the hiney of your head
The Doo-Doo Chasers
The Promentalshitbackwashpsychosisenemasquad
The prune juice of the mind
The Doo-Doo Chasers
Friends of roto-rooter
Bringing you music to get your shit together by
The band in the tidy bowl of your brain
(What was that long word again? Promental-?)
Promentalshitbackwashpsychosisenemasquad

A musical bowel movement
Designed to rid you of moral diarrhoea
Social bullshit
Crazy doo-doo
Mental poops

They call us the unflushables

One swipe a clean wipe

(Go flush it, fellas!)

And what's cause of all of this shit?
What is the source of food for thought?
Ego-munchies
Images(?) doggie bags
A my burger with I sauce on it
A me burger with I sauce on it
A myself sandwich
A personal burger
A Hamburger
And a glass of constricted cola
Out to lunch with lunch meat
The fear of being eaten by a sandwich
The Promentalshitbackwashpsychosisenemasquad
The Doo-Doo Chasers
Friends of roto-rooter
Music to clean your shit by(?)

Low calorie logic
Muscle brains
Skinny brains

Count the calories of your thoughts

Funk, Confucius says
Like Chinese laxatives
Sweet and sour bowel movements

And in this world of stinky memories
Spanking memories
Shitty futures
19 now nows-constipated-like
Where is the Doo-Doo Chaser?
The prune juice of the mind
The band in the tidy bowl of your brain
Bringing you music to put your shit together by

Funk, the pee preparation
The prune juice of the mind
A mental musical bowel movement
Groovalax
One swipe a clean wipe

And with no extra charge
A psychological turd remover
A neurological enema
Holy Shit
(let me try one-crap)
Corpolites(?)
Prehistoric doo doo
Helping you get your shit together

[Backstage at a Funkadelic rehearsal
We bring you the doo doo chasers]
(Which one is George Clinton?)
Out to lunch with lunch meat, once again
The fear of being eaten by a sandwich
Lunchville
Where lunch is a nice time of day at least twice a week
And Fried Ice Cream is a reality
And Fried Ice Cream is a reality
And Fried Ice Cream is a reality
And Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
And Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
And Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
And Fried Ice Cream is a reality!

(Which one is George Clinton?)

Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
Fried Ice Cream is a reality!

Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
Fried Ice Cream is a reality!
