Funky Drummer, Pts. 1 & 2 Songtext
von James Brown

Pull back the cover
Shades, good God
It′s a raid

Cut off the lights
And call the law
Cut off the lights
And call the law

Standing over there
The devil's son-in-law

Call the law
Call the law
The devil′s son-in-law

Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Make me sweat, huh


Still good
It's still good
Still good
It's still good

Turn over
Turn over (Soulful Rover)
Turn over
Turn over
Turn over
Take me in the chain
Take me in the chain
Take me in the chain

Honky-tonk women
Is all I need
Honky-tonk women
Is what I want

Fellas
One more time
I wanna give the drummer
Some of this funky soul we got here


You don′t have to do
No song, brother
Just keep what you got
Don′t turn it loose
Cause it's a mother

When I count to four
I want everybody to lay off
Let the drummer go
When I count to four
I want you to come back in

You send me cover
I got to holler
I said it′s in my feet
Feels so sweet
It's in my shake, good God
About to work me to death

It′s in my shake
About to work me to death
It's in my shake
I′m about to blow
I'm about to blow

One, two, three, four
Get it

Ain't it funky
Ain′t it funky
Ain′t it funky
Ain't it funky
One, two, three, four

The name of this tune is ′The Funky Drummer'
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
The funky drummer

The funky drummer
The funky drummer
There′s a another funky drama take it out
One, two, three, four
The funky drummer
