Lyrics

Hit it
Hearlon, how you feeling, brother?
(Feeling good)
You feel good?
(Feeling good and groovin')
There's so much boom, brotha
How you feel, man?
(I feel alright)
I won't call your name
I don't want no people to know you're in here
How you feeling, fella?
Hey, Jab!
Sure getting down
Look a' here, ha
We're gonna have a funky good time
We're gonna have a funky good time
We're gonna have a funky good time
We're gonna have a funky good time
Now, take 'em up, Fred
We gotta take you higher
Alright, gonna do it again, you wanna do it again, huh?
(Yeah, let's do it one more time)
We gotta take you higher
Brother? (Yeah?)
Now, I want everybody to let Fred blow about two choruses
And then I want to wave you in, let's go and do this now, alright
I wanna get that fella with the little horn over there
Fred, can you take us higher? (Yeah)
Take us higher (Alright)
Fred (Yeah) Fred (Yeah) Fred
Give it up now for Fred!
You know what, when I hear a groove like this groove
I say I got to take you higher
Yeah, baby, yeah, yeah
Like way up, younger man
It's bad
Look a' here
Someone got a groove like this
You know, you know, know
I need the grit (Need the grit) Got the grit (Got the grit)
Wanna eat (Wanna eat) Got to get
Get the job, the job, the job
Need the grit, got the grit
Now, Fred, you know
I believe, hey, Fred Thomas, brother
I'm getting ready to wave y'all in
You know what, I feel so down
I need to get down
In order for me to get down
I got to get in deep
In order for me to get down
I got to get in deep
Need to get in deep
The dog, the deep
Down deep
Funky deep, thinkin' deep
Down deep
Get on down
Morgan, man, you like these?
That's what I've been thinkin' about making, a big M
Look a' here, look a' that
You see over there (Who is that guy?)
You better sing one word for us (Alright)
What we gotta do?
We gotta have a funky good time, oh, yeah
We gotta have a funky good time (Oh, yeah, now)
(Gotta have a funky good time)
I didn't know you were singing, Fred
(We gotta have a funky good time)
Don't mourn so much fella, don't mourn so much!
(Gotta have a funky good time)
Take 'em out now
We gotta take you higher
Wait a minute
Now, who you say that was over there?
(Familiar looking cat, I thought I'd seen him somewhere)
(Um, is that Maceo?)
He's doing everything over there
(Do you know if that's Maceo?)
Is it who?
Maceo, you know like
Maceo, won't you blow?
Oh, yeah, Maceo!
