Funk Factory Songtext
von Wilson Pickett

Was born in a funk factory, born in a funk factory
Workin′ hard like a slave, y'all, comin′ up short on my pay, y'all
Some men are stockers, came on the go, yeah
But all I will see in my lifetime, y'all
Was a bass, a drum, my funky home
(Born in a funk factory, born in a funk factory)


Born in a funk factory, workin′ like a slave
Comin′ up short on my pay
Somebody tell me what's goin′ on wrong
All I've known to do in my lifetime
Was to scream, gripe, grump & groan
(Born in a funk factory, born in a funk factory)

(Instrumental)

Some men are stockers, came on the go, yeah
But all I will see in my lifetime, y′all
Was a bass, a drum, my funky home
(Born in a funk factory, born in a funk factory)

Oh I'm gonna tell you
I′m satisfied, y'all, I'm satisfied, y′all
(Repeat & fade):
(I was born in a funk factory)
