Horace Silver
It’s Got to Be Funky
[Verse 1]
When I write my music I search for melody
Well, the next step I take is finding the harmony
I'm in search of a song that gets you out on the dancing floor
So there's one element I simply, simply cannot ignore

[Chorus]
It's got to be funky every time
Yes, it's got to be funky every time
It's got to have rhythm and a rhyme
And it's got to be funky every time, every time

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I'm thrilled and delighted each time I write a tune
I'm so, so excited, want you to hear it soon
I'm in search of a song that gets you out on the dancing floor
So there's one element I simply cannot ignore

[Chorus]
Yes, it's got to be funky every time
Yes, it's got to be funky, funky every time
It's got to have rhythm and a rhyme
Yes, it's got to be funky every time
