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 grooviest people meet

Jump up and down and move all around
Bend your knees half way down to the ground
Move it to the west and to the south
Turn it around and kick your partner in the mouth

Down on Funky Street, diggin the funky beat
Down on Funky Street that's where the grooviest people meet
Sweet soul music is in the air 
People are comin' from everywhere
Comin' from the east, comin' from the west
Dancin with the one they love the best

One, c'mon everybody, you 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 ............................FADE
