Lyrics
Everybody, give it to me!
Hey, hey, hey!
All right, oh yeah!
Hey, hey, hey!
All right now, now give it to me!
I want you to believe every word I say
I want you to believe every thing I do
I said music is what I've got to give
And I've got to find some way to make it
Music is what I've got baby
I want you to come on and shake it, shake it
Shake it shake it baby!
Oh yeah, hey!
Funky, funky, funky!
Funky Kingston is what I've got for you, oh yeah
Funky Kingston, yeah, is what I've got for you
Funky Kingston
Oh yeah!
Lemme hear your funky guitar...
Yo reggae...
Hear the piano, lick it to me... lick it to me
Oh yeah, oh now, oh yeah!
Watch me now, you watch me now! All right!
Playing from east to west, now
I just play from north to south, yeah!
All over America
People keep on asking me for Funky Kingston
But I ain't got none
Someone take it away from me
You gotta go and fetch one
Funky Kingston now!
They keep on asking me
But I ain't got none
Somebody take it from me
You gotta go and fetch one
Funky Kingston now!
Funky Kingston now!
Funky Kingston now!
Oh Lord!
East to west, now
From north to south, now!
All over America
People keep on asking me for Funky Kingston
But I ain't got none
Somebody take it away from me
You gotta go and fetch you one
I ain't got none
Funky Kingston now!
Somebody take it away from me
You gotta go and fetch yourself one
Funky Kingston now!
