My name is Prince and I am funky 
My name is Prince, the one and only 
I did not come to funk around 
Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town 
In the beginning (funky) God made the sea 
But on the seventh day He made me 
He was tryin' to rest why'all when He heard the sound 
Sound like a guitar cold gettin' down 
I tried to bust a high note, but I bust a string 
My God was worried until he heard me sing 

My name is Prince and I am funky 
My name is Prince, the one and only 
Hurt me! 
(Do that, do that somebody) {x8} 
Hurt me! 

My name is Prince and I am funky 
When it come to funk, I am a junkie 
I know from righteous, I know from sin 
I got to sides and they both friends 
Don't try to clock 'em, they're much to fast 
If you try to stop 'em, they'll kick that ass 
Without a pistol, without a gun 
When you hear my music, you be havin' fun 
That's when I gotcha, that's when you mine 
To tell the truth, tell me what's my line? 

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince) 
My name is Prince, the one and only (U can't stop Prince) 
Hurt me! 
(Do that, do that somebody) {x4} 
Funky fresh for the 90's (Prince) 

My name is Prince, I don't want to be King 
'Cause I've seen the top and it's just a dream 
Big cars and women and fancy clothes 
Will save your face but it won't save your soul 
I'm here to tell you that there's a better way 
Would our Lord be happy if He came today? 
I ain't sayin' I'm better, no better than you, huh 
But if you want to play with me, you better learn the rules (Ow!) 

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince) 
My name is Prince, the one and only (U can't stop Prince) 
I did not come to funk around (U can't stop Prince) 
Till I get your daughter, I won't leave this town 
I won't leave this town {x2} 
I won't leave this, leave this, leave this? 

My name is Prince and I am funky (U can't stop Prince) 
My name is Prince the one and only (U can't stop Prince) 
Funky fresh for the 90's 
(Do that, do that somebody) {x4} 
Hurt me! 

The funkier I be, the funkier I get, ooh shit 
Lickety split on the lyric, a new jack in the pulpit 
Watch it deacon, your track is leakin' 
What is this you're seekin'? 
The syncopated rhymes are at their peak when? 
You jumped on my D.I.C.K. 
That's the one thing I don't play 
The jock strap was too big for you anyway 
You're just a simpleton 
I'll bust you like a pimple, son 
My star is too bright, boy 
I'll sink you like the ship Poseidon Adventure 
You're bumpin' dentures to be cocksure 
There must be more coming from your mouth than manure 
So with a flow and a spray, I say hey 
You must become a Prince before you're King anyway 

(Do that, do that somebody) {x2} 
It's time I get ig-ig-ig-ig-ig-ig-ignorant 
Def be the beat that I'm rockin' 
Yo, so come get a hit 
And put your thinking cap on 
You've been forewarned 
I call upon the inner forces I've got brewin' in my cauldron 
That means my nugget, sometimes I'm rugged 
The style I posses be havin' the other brothers buggin' 
And this is four those who oppose 
And propose to overexpose, disclose 
Pose a threat to my brother 
Like any other man makin' a stand 
I'll be damned if I let you play this hand 
I'm the blackjack dealer and the cards are stacked 
What do you expect to win when you're used to playing craps? 
Yeah, let's get rid of them, hmm? 

(Do that, do that somebody) {x2} 
It's gettin' tricky, that means a sticky situation 
To resurrect a groove with feeling and give it this much affection 
Passion flows who knows what lurks in the gallows of my mind 
I put my foot in the ass of Jim Crow 
Twelve inches of non-stop sole 
I'm on a roll - yo P, it's time for the show 
So do that, do that somebody 
Wave your hands in the air, this is a motherfuckin' party 
While you're layin' back, I'm on the attack 
Paddywhack - give yourself a bone 
This is my house and I'm prone 
To layin' some chrome upside some motherfucker's dome 
And I'm out 

My name is Prince and I am funky 
My name is Prince, the one and only 

My name is Prince {x10}
