One used to be the shotgun
Two used to be the bad boogaloo
Three used to be the swing shingaling
Four used to be the funky four fingers

Down on funky street
Digging the funky beat
Down on funky street
That's where the grooviest people meet

From Atlanta, Georgia
Going on down to the border
Every boy is dancing
With somebody's daughter

Grooving in the city
Got to get down with it

Down on funky street
We're digging that funky beat
Down on funky street
That's where the grooviest people meet

Jump up and down and you turn around
You bend your knees halfway
Down to the ground

You move it to the west
You move it to the south
You turn around and
Kick your partner in the mouth

Down on funky street
Digging the funky beat
Down on funky street
Where the grooviest people meet

Sweet soul music is in the air
People, they're coming from everywhere
Comin' from the east, coming from the west
Dancing with the one they love the best

One, come on, everybody
You got to hit the floor
Three, come on, baby, and go with me
Two used be the bad boogaloo
One, got to have just a little fun

Down on funky street
Digging the funky beat
Down on funky street
