Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pull back the cover
The shades
Good God, it's a raid
Cut out the lights
And call the law
Cut out the lights
And call the law
Standin' over there
The Devil's son-in-law
[Verse 2]
Call the law
Call the law
The Devil's son-in-law
[Verse 3]
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice
Make me sweat
[Verse 4]
Still good
Still good
Still good
It's still good
Turn over
Turn over
I'm a soulful rover
Turn over
Turn over
Turn over
Carry in the change
Take me in the change
Take me in the change
[Verse 5]
Look here now
God, ha
[Verse 6]
Honky-tonk women is all I need
I'm a member of a brand new breed
Honky-tonk women is what I want
[Verse 7]
Fellas
One more time, I wanna give the drummer some of this funky soul we got here
You don't have to do no soloin', 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 and let the drummer go
And when I count to four, I want you to come back in
[Verse 8]
It's in my collar
I got to holler
I said it's in my feet, uh
Feels so sweet
It's in my shirt, good God
About to work me to death
It's in my shirt
About to work me to death
It's in my shirt
I rock the floor
I wanna rock the floor
One, two, three, four, get it
[Bridge]
God, ha
Ain't it funky?
Ain't it funky?
Ain't it funky?
Ain't it funky?
A-one, two, three, four
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
The funky drummer
Maceo
Let's have the funky drummer blow
[Verse 11]
The funky drummer
[Verse 12]
The funky drummer
The funky drummer
Let's lay out and let this funky drummer take it out
One, two, three, four, the funky drummer
