Funky
It's like su-
It's like su-
It's like sugar, so sweet
Good enough to eat
When I feel the funk, I give in
Get upon a-yo' feet
(Yeah)
(Ah)
Why with the state that I'm in
Everybody here is dancing
All I wanna do is get ya
Body next to mine, yeah
Baby won't you stand up to me
Come around and make a move
Maybe teach ya something like this
Funky, funky groove
It's like sugar, so sweet
Good enough to eat
When I feel the funk, I give in
Get upon a-yo' feet
It's like su- (yeah)
It's like su- (yeah) (I like it)
Like sugar (like sugar), it's like sugar (like sugar)

Get upon a-yo' feet
Why with the state that I'm in
Everybody here is dancing
All I wanna do is get ya
Body next to mine
Baby won't you stand up to me
Come around and make a move
Maybe teach ya something like this
