Hit it, let's go to the funky side of town
Over there, where the people get on down

One more time, Hank, come on
Let's go to the funky side of town (I'm gone)
Over there, lives a brother named James Brown

You've got a place, where the people like to go
Break on down, and have a lot of fun (huh!)

Over there, where the people get on down

People over there, so big on love
Let me say it again
People over there, so big on love
That's the one thing we got a whole lot of
If you dig them, they'll dig you
Soul Brother, soul says too
Long-haired hippies for me and you

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

One more time, come on
Let's go to the funky side of town
Over there, where the people get on down
Ha ha, say it again, tell me to say it again
(Yeah) you want me to say it again? (say it again)
Ey Dave, can I say it? Is it all right? Look here

The long-haired hippies and the afro blacks
All get together all across the tracks
And they party all night long, 'til night kiss day
Here's when we say (huh!):

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's... go!

(What's wrong with you?)
Let's keep it going, man, keep it classic
Oh, you mean... okay, let's go again

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's...
Let's say it one more time, Hank
Keep on saying, wanna do it right
Man, you and me, gimme my soul food [?]
Yeah? (yeah) you got 'em, let's go one more time now

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
(I can see you've got it together now, what about you, Hank?)
Let's say it four times, come on
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
(Ah, you heat that?) where are we going?
Let's go, let's go to the funky side of town
I hear them saying they wanna quit! (Oww, yeah!)
So funky (aww), let's go (he-hey)
Let's go to the funky side of town, over there
On the hills that funky sound (come on!), let's go (sing!)

People over there, so big on love
That's the only thing they have plenty of
You dig them, they'll dig you too
Like sisters and brothers

Scoot on a little further! Let's go, let's... haha...

Hey (hey man), you're hey Hank, yeah, just funning
You know, just funning a little bit
You don't hurt me, man, it's your business [?], haha...

Let's go one more time, let's do it one more time...
