Oh, let's get up and let's get excitedIt's a public party and you're all invitedLet's cut the custard, see the mustardPlease hold steady till we're maladjustedSing boop-ba-de-boop, sing twiddle-de-deInvite the Germans home for teaLet them mock and let them sneerThe wise young crackpot knows no fearThe emancipation that's sweeping the nationWhen it seemed that the world was sunkYou can bet your boots on your own pursuitsHistory is bunkFrom Rosemary Clooney to Jerry Lee LewisFrom Debussy to Thelonius MonkIt's the modern art of the human heartThe shape of things to funk, funk, funkLet's see you do it, you always knew itIt's totally impossible to misconstrue itIn sight of the fact and in spite of the fashionLiving is a lap-top animated fashionPay no attention to the bones of contentionDo the new-age boogie for the old-age pensionLet them stop and let them snoreWe'll be glad that we were bornMotivation is the new sensationThe fantasy that keeps you fitOn the human assumption, you don't have the gumptionGet up and do your bitBeing daft is a therapy craftWhich sharpens up your witsTotally enthusic about the musicAnd it shows in the face you sit, sit, sit(dosey-doh)Oh, let's get up and let's get excitedIt's a public party and you're all invitedLet's cut the custard, see the mustardPlease hold steady till we're maladjustedSing boop-ba-de-boop, sing twiddle-de-deInvite the Germans home for teaLet them mock and let them sneerWise young crackpots know no fearEmancipation that's sweeping the nationWorldwide tonic funkYou can bet your boots on your own pursuitsHistory is bunkFrom Rosemary Clooney to Jerry Lee LewisFrom Debussy to Thelonius MonkIt's the modern art in the human heartThe shape of things to funk, funk, funk, funk, funk(Thank you)
