Lyrics

Funky, funky but chic Funky, funky but chic Funky, funky but chic You funky but, funky but, alright, alright, alright I got a pair of shoes I swear that somebody gave me My momma thinks I look pretty fruity but in jeans I feel rockin' I don't wear nothin' not too fussy or neat I just want somethin' baby to be able to walk down your street Hey come on baby, let's get on down to the boutique Let's bring back somethin' that's a funky but chic, I said now Funky, funky but chic Funky, funky but chic I'll get down in any neighborhood I swear that my friends will take me But the people there they all itch and bitch, oh lord I swear they gonna break me, sure don't take me I've got to fly just to get downtown I swear where everybody's crazy And when I fly on down that street them girls stop acting lazy I say, I don't wear nothin' not to flashy or neat I just want somethin' baby to be able to fly down your street Hey get on baby, who at the boutique Let's bring back somethin' that's a funky but chic, I said now Funky, funky but chic Funky, funky but chic I got a little car, come on baby let's get drivin' 'round I got a '56 Mercedes-Benz I had painted cocoa-brown I don't drive nothin' not to flashy or neat I just want somethin' baby to be able to drive down your street Hey good news baby, let's get on down to the boutique Let's bring back somethin' that's a funky but chic I said now Funky, funky but - oh chic Funky, funky but - trash heap Funky, funky but - what chic You funky but, funky but, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright Got a pair of shoes I swear that somebody gave me Momma thinks I look pretty fruity but in jeans I feel rockin', I'm getting strong now I don't wear nothin' not too fussy or neat I just want somethin' baby to be able to walk down your street Hey get out of bed baby, let's get on down to the boutique Let's bring back somethin' that is funky but chic
