Do the Funky Chicken

[Verse 1]
Everybody, Rufus is your man
I wanna tell ya, I got a brand new thing
Stop what you're doing, wherever you're at
Now you get ready for that Itch and Scratch
Oh, turn it up a little bit baby
But be cool, now, wait a minute
[Verse 2]
Let me tell ya what you gotta do
If you wanna do it, dig what I'm telling you
Get up on your feet and then you start to move
Got an itchy feeling, sure is a mellow grove
Baby now you got it, all up and down your back
That's when you start, you start the Itch and Scratch
Right there now baby, wooo, that sure do feel good
[Chorus]
Can you do it?
Can you do it?
Can you do it?
Can you do it?
It's so nice, got to do it twice
It's so nice, got to do it twice
I've got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
I've got to, got to, got to, got to, got to, got to
Listen
[Verse 3]
Get up on your feet, then you'll start to move
You've got an itchy feeling, sure is a mellow grove
Righ now you've got it, all up and down your back
That's when you start, you start the Itch and Scratch
Better check yourself, baby, take your time, it's easy
[Chorus]
Can you do it?
Can you do it?
Can you do it?
Can you do it?
Listen
[Outro]
They doin' it down in Texas, down in Louisiana
Memphis, Tennessee
We got Alabama
Mama, mama, mama, I think I met my match
Look at that woman, standin' in the corner, doin' the Itch and Scratch
Oh, I'm itchin'
Oh, shucks, I'm itchin'
Sure 'nough I'm itchin', I got to scratch
Sure 'nough I'm itchin', I got to scratch
Baby, baby, I'm itchin', all up and down my back
When I start to itchin' like this, I sure 'nough got to scratch
I'm itchin', I got to scratch
I'm itchin', I got to scratch
I got to, I got to, I got to scratch
I got to, I got to, I got to scratch
Sure 'nough, I'm itchin'
Sure 'nough, I'm itchin'
Sure 'nough, I'm itchin'
Sure 'nough, I'm itchin'
