Funky Street - Arthur Conley

One used to be the shotgun

Two used to be the bad boogaloo

Three used to be the swing shingaling

Four used to be the funky four fingers

Down on funky street, diggin' the funky beat

Down on funky street

That’s where the grooviest people meet

From Atlanta Georgia, goin' on down to the border

Every boy is dancin' with somebody’s daughter

Groovin' in the city, got to get down with it

Down on funky street we’re diggin' that funky beat

Down on funky street

That’s where the groovier people meet

Jump up and down and you’re turnin' around

You bend your knees half way down to the ground

You move it to the west and you move it to the south

You turn it around and kiss your partner in the mouth

Down on funky street, diggin' that funky beat

Down on funky street

Where the grooviest people meet

Sweet soul music is in the air

People they’re comin' from everywhere

Comin' from the east, comin' from the west

Dancin' with the one that they love the best

One, c’mon everybody, got to hit the floor

Three, c’mon, baby, and go with me

Two used be the bad boogaloo

One, got to have just a little fun

Down on funky street, diggin' the funky beat

Down on funky street, diggin' the funky beat

Down on funky street, diggin' the funky beat

Down on funky street, we’re doing the swinging shingaling
