Funky Soul Part 1 Bobby Byrd

Hey everybody, got a funky soul
Hey everybody, got a funky soul
I like to dance, I like to sing
I like to do the brand new thing
The funky soul, oh, oh
Gotta, gotta, gotta tell you about it, the funky soul

Now wait a minute, looka here, let me tell you about it
Shake it, lady, shake that thing
Do the pocket dog, get on the log

Looka here now
I'm just a soul brother from way down south
I said the first thing that comes to my mouth, yes I do
The funky soul, oh
Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta tell you about it, the funky soul

Now when I played the Apollo Theater
Every year with James Brown
I played it twice
The people there, they treat me nice
Then I go on to D.C., to the Howard Theater
Now it’s a groove
The people there, they make you move
Atlanta, Georgia, the capital of my home state
Now the people there, they got everything straight... [applause]
