Function at the Junction (Single Version)

I'm gettin' ready for the function at the junction

And baby, you'd better come on right now

Because everybody's gonna be there

We got people comin' from everywhere

We got Ling Ting Tong from China

Long tall Sally from Carolina

We got 007, the private eye

And he's bringin' all the guys from I Spy

Come one, come all

We gonna have a ball

Down at the function at the junction

And baby, you'd better come on right now

We servin' egg foo young and barbecue

Havin' chicken dumplings and kidney stew

Havin' heap big fun till the break of dawn

Gonna shake a tail-feather

Shoot him 'fore he run

Hold a shotgun on the rooster

And dare him to crow

How could anybody sleep when they could get out on the floor

Tell him, tell them, tell one, and tell 'em all

Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction

Tell 'em that they'd better come on right now

Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction, baby

Tell 'em that they'd better come on right now

Oh

Oh, the soul brothers, jitterbugs

Hip cats and fancy hats and pretty girls with pretty smiles

All decked out in the latest styles

And farmer Jim and guitar Slim

And Betty Boop and oh-boop-e-doop

And Mohair Sam from Alabam'

And Minnesota Fats from Hobo Flats

Breath-takin' hip-shakin' give it now

Talkin' 'bout some fascinatin' demonstratin' beauty line

They all be gatherin' here

From far and near

For the function at the junction

Brother, you better come on right now

Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction

Sister, you'd better come on right now

Talkin' 'bout a function at the junction

Everybody you'd better come on right now

You ain't never seen a function at the junction
