Written by Brian Culbertson, Sheldon Reynolds, Bootsy Collins, Pete Roberts, Zion Roberts, Donald Moore, Candice Cheatham & Keith Cheatham

A-Yabba dabba doo

Baby any cockle-doodle-do

A-don't you wanna ride on the funk ship?

Like fried, dried, bake on swimming pool water baby...

On the brotha... yeah

Y'know we grilling...so stop the killing

Hear the rhythm rhythming on the melody

Supernatural funky as you wanna be

Caught a vibe recording at the studio

Hypnotizing so you know it's good to go

Drop a taste of the Space Bass in ya face

Keep the drummer on the One like you got the place

Got the funk in my blood and it's here to stay

The Godfather James Brown showed me the way

Funkin' like my father

Get up on the down stroke

Now, say it loud

I wanna funk right now

Funkin' like my father

George Clinton P-Funk...uhh, givin' up the funk

FUNK! Gettin' ready to roll...

Just like the Super Bowl

Buckle up, let's take a trip back in the day

When all my heroes' legendary funk was made

George Clinton found the recipe to make you move

Bootsy's Rubber Band playin' a funky groove

Who stole the soul from your radio?

Gotta blow up the funk like we did before

New wave for the old school injection

Make a spiritual funky connection

Funkin' like my father

Get up on the down stroke

Now, say it loud

I wanna funk right now

Funkin' like my father

George Clinton P-Funk...uhh, givin' up the funk

FUNK! Yeah yeah, funkin' this in the funky town

(RAP) There was somethin' Åebout the groove in the fly tunes

That made you move so cool, so smooth

The whole floor was in tune ladies got loose

Pure funk and it shut down the whole room.

If we tell it, tear the roof off the mother

We funkin' baby bubba

And if you fakin' and hatin' you better run for cover

You should be thankin' and praisin' all of these brothers

The George Clintons and Bootsys you gotta love Åeem

Invented a new sound created a hot style

All the new comers you need to bow down, yeah

Real recognize real the funk won't stop, so now you know what the deal (and uh)

We gon' give it to ya just how you like

Every bit until you feel alright

Get up and get down to groove

When the Mothership connection make you make your move

Yeah

Ah~slow it down, slow it down baby

The Mothership passed lately

Ah~I know you why heard about that bad day

I want you baby show me... I just wanna show you something

Alphabootical

Beta biological

Symmetrically induced

We're ready for use

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Brian tested positive

For the funk

And remember...P all that you can P

But just don't P on me

Funkin' like my father

Get up on the down stroke

Now, say it loud

I wanna funk right now

Funkin' like my father

George Clinton P-Funk...uhh, givin' up the funk

FUNK! Gettin' ready to roll...

Just like the Super Bowl

Funkin' like my father

Keep on movin' if you feeling the funk...

Funkin' like my father

Get up and get down to groove

When the Mothership connection make you make your move

I place my P-Funk... I gotta have my P-Funk...
