George Clinton
Colour Me Funky
[Verse 1]
Nothing has changed (La, la, la, la)
Even the bang remains the same
(In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
We still needs to funk
(In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo-woo
Nothing has changed (Nothing has changed)
(In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Or is the way that you picture me
(In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Colored by the way you've been treated in a situation that comes to mind

[Bridge]
(Nothing has changed except for you and I)
Oh, no no no
Please don't let the lights that blind
Change the way you see me
Don't let it change the way you see me
(Takes a lot of time to move from town to town)
Lots of time to move from town to town (Town to town)
Very seldom, I can settle down
And I can't settle down (Right smack dab in the socket)
No, no

[Chorus]
(We need the funk, gots to have the funk) (In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Got to have the funk
(We need the funk, gots to have the funk) (In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
We need to funk, colour me funky
(We need the funk, gots to have the funk) (In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Got to have the funk
(We need the funk, gots to have the funk) (In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Picture me funky
(We need the funk, gots to have the funk) (In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Got to have the funk
(We need the funk, gots to have the funk) (In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Shine your light, shine your light on your funk
(We need the funk, gots to have the funk) (In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Got to have the funk, hey, hey, hey
(We need the funk, gots to have the funk) (In the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Hey, hey, hey
Haaii
[Verse 2]
Oh, we be jamming (Join the band)
Sweeter than the jam (Join the band)
Granny used to can (Join the band)
Oh back, way back!
Way back, ooh, in them good old days
Y'all know what I'm talking about
Ain't a damn thing changed
Join the fun
Dad-gum, dad-gum, baba
Join the fun
Dad-gum, dad-gum, baba
Hey, Lord, yeah, we're jamming
Join the fun
Dad-gum, dad-gum, baba

[Verse 3]
Nothing has changed
Even the bang remains the same, hey
We still need the funk
Got to have the funk
Nothing has changed (Nothing has changed)

[Bridge]
Or is the way you perceive me
Colored by the way you've been treated in a situation that comes to mind
Oh, no
Nothing has changed except for you and I (Nothing, nothing)
Please don't let the lights that blind
Change the way you see me (Don't let it change the way you see me)
Takes a lot of time
To go from town to town (To go from town to town)
But, we'll be bringing the funk around
And you know I can't settle down
Giving up the funk
(Calling the mothership, calling the mothership)
(Calling the mothership, calling the mothership)
(Giving up the funk)
You have just [?] jurisdiction [?] implementation of booty control
There shall be no further pursuit from this district
I wants the bomb, I want the P.Funk
I wants my funk uncut, heh heh!
You are in free space
And by the time you get to Venus
You should be funky!
We need the funk
By the time you get to Venus
You should be funky!
You have the freedom to be funky!
If you snooze you lose
[?] Mothership
[Outro]
We need the funk
Go ahead, Garry! (Calling the mothership)
We need the funk
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you (Coming for you)
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you (Yes he is)
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you (He's coming for you, and you)
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you (He's coming for you)
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you (Yes he is)
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you (Yes he is)
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you
Uncle Jam's coming, coming for you
