I was just seventeen
my momma she said
baby you needs to be like
other kids at school.
said to be on time
is the rule...yes it is

too far to make my stride
can't ride across the town
can't take car when it's broken down
gotta pass the time
can the rhythm, can the rhythm
be my ride

get on the funkbus
if you wanna ride
get on the funk bus
baby it's all right
ya get own the funkbus
if you wanna fly
if you're feelin' funky
baby you can take a ride

uh.

down on the corner
18th and vine
I stood in the morning
right on time
I had a bird
talkin in my ear
he told me the funkbus would appear

that's when I saw my ride
p-funk on the plate
four rows across it was double wide
driver with dreds to his knees

he said:
"If you want the funk
then you gotsta say please"

get on the funkbus
if you wanna ride
get on the funk bus
baby it's all right
ya get own the funkbus
if you wanna fly
if you're feelin' funky
baby you can take a ride

Take a ride with me to the funk we gonna testify
I dunno but the booty's gonna tell you why
step it up shake yo body rhythm movang
ya wanna ride shake yo thang
shake yo thang thang

up on da drive left on the optimo
now you're on the funkbus puttin' on a funky show
to the mother ship we're gonna let it fly
we wants our funk on time,
we wants our funk on time
