Standing on the Verge (of Getting It On) Songtext
von George Clinton

Spoken}
Hey lady, won′t you be my dog
And I'll be your tree
And you can pee on me!
(X3)

We will do you no harm
Other than pee in your afro

Hey lady, won′t you be my dog
And I'll be your tree
And you can pee on me!

{Sung}

Even if you don't dig it
Don′t mean it′s not the thing or thing to do
It could be just for you

Even if you don't feel it
Right now don′t mean someday it'll turn you out
You′ll be out of sight


You really shouldn't ought to fight it
The music is designed to do no harm
It′s just for you

With just a little bit of effort
I can, and well we might, just turn you on

Even if you don't admit it
The time for change is here and here we are
We're just for you

Stick us in your ear and dig us
One time, one time, one time, one time and see
We′re just for you

You really shouldn′t ought to fight it
The music is designed to do no harm
We're just for you

With just a little bit of effort
I can and will we might just turn you on

Music is designed to free your funky mind
We have come to help you cope
Out into another reality
You will be
Through our music we bring you hope

Us is what time it is


People, what you doing?
Standing on the verge of gettin′ it on
Really gettin' it on
(X3)

Song out tonight
Oh, my soul is out tonight
There′s a song out tonight
Y'all, come on

There′s a song out tonight
Oh, my soul is out tonight
There's a song out tonight
Y'all, come on

(One more time!)

There′s a song out tonight
Oh, my soul is out tonight
There′s a song out tonight
Y'all, come on

Us is what time it is

Even if you don′t dig it
Don't mean it′s not the thing or thing to do
Could be just for you

You really shouldn't ought to fight it
The music is designed to do no harm
We′re just for you

People, what you doing?
Standing on the verge of gettin' it on
Really gettin' it on
(X2)

People, doing, yeah?
Standing on the verge of gettin′ it on
Really gettin′ it on

People, what you doing, yeah?
Standing on the verge of getting it on
Really getting it on

Standing on the verge of getting it on
Really getting it on
