Cholly (Funk Getting Ready to Roll)

I was strung out on Bach And Beethoven was my thing I dug jazz, I dug rock Anything with a swing Then I ran into a friend Who told me there was so much more Find the void that you missed There is plenty to explore We want to take you, Cholly, when we go (You want to take me?) We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we roll (Well, if you'd play me just a little bit more) But if we play you just a little more (Maybe I will) We'd love to take you, Cholly, when we go You know right about that time I started To analyze what they were trying to tell Me, they said: "Come on, Cholly, we want to take you somewhere" I didn't know where They was trying to take me, next thing I Know they were saying something like this: Funk, gettin' ready to go- Funk gettin' ready to roll (what?) Funk, gettin' ready to go- Funk gettin' ready to roll (What in the world are they talking about?) Funk gettin' ready to roll-gettin' ready to go? No, they can't do that Funk gettin' ready to go Funk gettin' ready to roll-see I've Bach-I love Beethoven Funk gettin' ready to go Funk gettin' ready to roll I would dance, I would sing, I could get lost in my dreams I would fly, but never too high 'Cause my funk deserted me Now that the door is open wide And all my funk just can't hide With the syndrome left behind No, my funk just can't hide We like to take you, Cholly, when we go We like to take you, Cholly, when we roll (They promise they would play one more time) But if we play you just a little bit more We'd like to take you, Cholly, etc You know It was in my hands It was in my feet I got it all over me Yes, I did, I got it all over me Got to go, got to go Got to go with the funk Get ready I would waltz, I would sing I would get lost in my dreams I would fly but never too high 'Cause the funk deserted me Now that the door is open wide And my funk I can't hide (I must go with the funk)
