Bootsy? (What's the Name of This Town?) Songtext
von Bootsy’s New Rubber Band

What′s the name of this town
What's the name of this town
Hollywood, California
Who′s gonna get on down
Bootsy, Bootsy

Play it for ..., Bootsy.
Play it for ..., I like it, I like it.
Play it for Cinncinati, Bootsy.

* Bootsy, play it one more time
Bootsy, play it one more time
Bootsy, play it one more time

All right! In less than two years, over sixteen
million believers have given up the funk, breakin'
all funk records. Tonight I'm informed that
four million of you mothers are right in here
gettin′ down, just enough to get us over the
hump. We proclaim "Give us your funk and we
shall go forth and funk the world in the name
of your town."


What′s the name of this town
Philidelpia, Philidelphia
Who's gonna get on down, baba
Bootsy, Bootsy
What′s the name of this town
Motor City, Motor City
And who's gonna get on down, baba
Casper, Casper

Play it for Alabama, Bootsy.
Oh look here, man, you′re too funky for me.
Play it for North Carolina, Bootsy.
Play it for North Dakota, Bootsy.
Howdy partner, play it for Texas, Bootsy.

Let's get down, Bootsy.

(* Repeat)

Play il for New York, Bootsy. One more time.
Play it one more time.
Play il for . . ., Bootsy.
Four million multiplied by two years, two ears
and two feet will make it sweet.

What′s the name of this town
C.C., D.C.
And who's gonna get on down, baba
Bootsy, Bootsy
And what's the key to my town
Funky, funky


Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. You′re so
kind, oh thank you, thank you. You want my bass?
Now take my funk ′cause my bass won't play for
nobody but me. And while you′re at it you might
as well take my glasses. Then what I can't see
won′t bother me none. But anyway, thank you,
thank you, thank you. Oh thank you, thank you,
thank you. Oh I feel, oh thank you, thank you . .

** What's the name of your town
Who′s gonna get on down

(** Repeat)

(* Repeat 2 times)
Bootsy, play it one more time
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
oh, oh thank you, oh I'm so excited, oh thank you,
thank you. Oh my fingers even thank you.
My little darlin' fingers. Oh baba, oh oh baba
thank you. Even my rubber band thanks you . . . Oh thank you, thank you . . .
Oh I′m so excited, so excited. Watch out!
Cool.
