Digital Underground - Tales Of The Funky Lyrics
Funk is my mother, George is my fatherObsessed with creating another authorNow I remember back when everything was On the One(Nah, they couldn't get none)Let me take you back a little further than thatThe Mothership Connection and the rest of the packBut think back, when Bootsy's Rubber Band hit the stageWith the star-shaped bass, we send the crowd into a rageStop, look up, and what do you see?The Mothership landing in DCSo, yo, thank God for ParliamentEverybody funky knows that they was heaven sentThere's Michael Hampton at one end of the stageBanging out Maggot Brain with Eddie HazelYo, I remember that and you do tooHe would always call the Mothership down for youGa-ga goo-ga, ga-ga goo-ga, ga-ga goo-gaYeah, you can do it, Humpty, don't be shyBut Shock G, come and reminisce with Shorty BYou know that I was born one of the FunkentelechyHumpty-Hump and the Horny Horns why don't you blow for me[Chorus x4]Tales of the F-U-N-K-Y, tales of the funkyShe said, I know the drummer can you let me in?Tell the guitar player that I brought my friendsShe was fine, sweet with a touch of classNo Head, No Backstage PassFunk used to be a bad word to youI couldn't stop myself writing a funky rap or twoSo Free Your dull-ass Mind your funky Ass Will FollowYour funk is watered down, in other words it's kinda shallowGet Up to Get Down, I said I'd Rather Be With YouGeorge and Bootsy, what a hell of a crewBut since you've been lost, yo, I've been so lost tooSo Flash your Lights in the airAnd don't forget that the funk Mob is everywhereDon't be Standing On the Verge of Gettin It OnAnd George'll be the first to tell yo
