I was strung out on BachAnd Beethoven was my thingI dug jazz, I dug rockAnything with a swingBut I ran into a friendWho told me there was so much moreFind the void that you missedThere is plenty to exploreWe want to take you, Cholly, when we go(You wanna 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 goYou know right about that timeI started to analyze what they were trying to tell meThey said, Come on, ChollyWe want to take you somewhereI didn't know where they was trying to take meNext thing I know they were saying something like thisFunk, gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollFunk, gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollFunk gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollFunk gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollI would dance, I would singI would get lost in my dreamsI would fly but never too high'Cause my funk deserted meNow that the door is open wideAnd all my funk just can't hideWith the syndrome left behindNo, my funk just can't hideWe like to take you, Cholly, when we goWe like to take you, Cholly, when we roll(They promise they would play it one more time)We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we goYou know it was in my head, it was in my feetFunk gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollFunk gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollFunk gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollFunk gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollFunk gettin' ready to goFunk gettin' ready to rollFunk gettin' ready to go
