Funky Beat Lyrics by Bernard Wright

Funky Beat

[Intro]
You can't get nowhere
Without the funky beat
You can't get nowhere
Without the funky beat
You can't get nowhere
Without the funky beat

[Verse 1]
Punk Rock
Soft Rock
Acid Rock
Jazz Rock
But if you wanna get down
The perfect sound is the funky, funky beat
Like you're hearin' right now
The funky drums, the funky bass
The guitar and the keyboards
All in your face
All come together to prove
The deal is the funky funky beat
That's really chill
The funky groove's responsible
For makin' the ladies just twist and move
Even older folks from yesteryear
Start tappin' their feet whenever they hear
The funky beat that's so unique
I'm tellin' you the truth
So you better believe in
Every single city street
The dominatin' force is
The funky, funky beat

[Chorus]
You can't get nowhere
Without the funky beat
Move your hips from side to side
Come on everybody let your body glide
You can't get nowhere
Without the funky beat
Move your hips from side to side
Come on everybody let your body glide

[Verse 2]
Salsa
Straight Jazz
Country
Fusion
I bet it definitely has a groove for some
But it's a beat like this
That makes me move my buns
Nothin' like the wheels
The wheels of steel
The double turntables
If you want to chill
To dance with me and feel complete
You gotta realize just what you need
It ain't your cash
It ain't your meat
It's just appreciation for dancin' feet
Don't have to be so damn unique
And come to the party wearin' your mink
In every single city street
In every single city street
The dominatin' force
The dominatin' force
The funky, funky boat
The funky, funky beat

[Chorus]
You can't get nowhere
Without the funky beat
Move your hips from side to side
Come on everybody let your body glide
You can't get nowhere
Without the funky beat
Move your hips from side to side
Come on everybody let your body glide

[Bridge]
Funky beat
Dance to the funky beat
The funky beat
The funky beat
The dominatin' force is the funky beat
The dominatin' force is the funky beat
The dominatin' force is the funky beat

[Verse 3]
James Brown
Sly Stone
And I bet you can name a few of your own
They all possess the ingredient
To make you move, to make you dance
Well Nard's my name
Keyboard's my game
And the hard workin' music's
My claim to fame
Well I've been around the world you see
Playin' all the branches
Of the musical tree
There's one thing that l've found to be
Wherever there's a radio or TV
Just click it on and you will see
What I'm tellin' you
You can believe
In every single city street
In every single city street
The dominatin' force
The dominatin' force
The funky funky beat
It's the funky, funky beat

[Chorus]
You can't get nowhere
Without the funky beat
Move your hips from side to side
Come on everybody let your body glide
(Repeat and fade)
