Blogger Comment Hall Of Fame Entry #2

Someone calling themself "Anonymous" (I wish folks would leave their name) was kind enough to leave a comment on an old post where I (tried to) reveal the lyrics of Funky Drummer. After careful scrutiny I must agree that I have, rightfully, been corrected. And thus the reason this particular respondant receives the second Nightmare Hall Of Fame entry. Read and learn:

"Quit half steppin, bro’, if you’re gonna post the Godfather’s lyrics DO IT RIGHT!

Brackets indicate lyrics only in the retake version. Retake version is what y’all see below 'xcept the last section which is only in the first version."

[One, two, how’s it go...]

Pull back the cover
Shades!
Good God, it’s a raid!

Huh!

Cut out the lights
[Huh!]
An’ call the law, ha
Cut out the lights
An’ call the law
Standin’ over there, huh!
The devil's son in law

Huh!
Call the law

The devil's son in law

Bring on the juice
Bring on the juice

I’m a soulful rover
Turn over

Heavy in the change
Take me in the change
Take me in the change

Huh!

Hit me now!

Good God!

Honky tonk women
Is all I need
I’m a member
Of a brand new breed

Honky tonk women
Is what I want

Fellas,

One more time
I wanna give the drummer
Some of this funky soul we got here

You don't have to do
No soloin’, brother
Just keep what you got
So turn it loose
‘Cause it's a mother

When I count to four
I want everybody to lay off
Let the drummer go
When I count to four
I want you to come back in

Hah!

It’s in ma collar
I got to holler
I said it's in ma feet
Feels so sweet

It's in ma shirt, good God
About to work me to death
It's in ma shirt
About to work me to death
It's in ma shirt
I want to blow
I’m wanna ‘bout to blow

One, two, three, four
Git it!

Good god!

Huh!

Heh hah

Urrgh!

Ain't it funky?

[Hah!]

Ain't it funky?
Ain't it funky?
Ain't it funky?

One, two, three, fo!

The name of this tune is THE FUNKY DRUMMER
THE FUNKY DRUMMER
THE FUNKY DRUMMER
THE FUNKY DRUMMER
THE FUNKY DRUMMER

Maceo!
Let’s have the funky drummer blow!

Funky drummer

Let’s lay out and let this funky drummer take it out
One, two, three, four, the funky drummer!
