You've got all that is really needed
To save a dying world
From its funklessness

Stupidly I bust smile
My composure was secure
A silly grin from ear to ear
A smile that's all right through

Oh, but then like a streak of lightning it came
Filling my brain with this pain
Without saying a word this voice I heard
"Give up the funk, you punk!"

Unfunky kind of UFO (from the sun)
Here from the sun (you've got the groove)
You've got the groove and we want some
We're unfunky and we're obsolete (and out of time)
And we're out of time
Gonna take your funk and make it mine

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, oh

You could feel so much better
If you would show me how to funk like you do

You've got all that is really needed
To save a dying world
From its funklessness

Deep in pain I called the names
Of some funkified friends of mine
They were on the road
And gettin' it on
And groovin' all the time.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, oh (shiiine)

You could feel so much better
If you would show me how to funk like you do

Out of nowhere but they were, nearly took me by surprise
They crept upon me early this morning
Right before my eyes
And they were saying
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
Sweet old music

Unfunky kind of UFO (from the sun)
Here from the sun (you've got the groove)
You've got the groove and we've got some (unfunky and obsolete)
We're unfunky and we're obsolete (and out of time)
And we're out of time
Gonna take your funk and make it mine

You've got all that is really needed
To save a dying world
From its funky self.

You could feel so much better
If you would show me how to funk like you do
