Curtis Mayfield - Get Down Lyrics
Get down, baby
To the funky, funky, funky groove
Get down, baby
Let the light reflect upon your natural mood
Your creative mood shall express itself
Get down, baby
After life and desire there is nothing left
We're all children of the world
A hungry man in search for a hungry girl
It's strange, so plain we're all cannibal
The most wasted and two faced of all animals
Get down, get down
Take my soul, baby
When you reel I can feel so much desire
Take my soul, baby
Life unfolds from my soul when you start a fire
So get down, just get down
Get down, baby
As the rhythm should follow through your able soul
Get down, baby
Play the part like a pro in a perfect role
Get down, baby
To the funky, funky, funky groove
Get down, baby
Let the light reflect upon your natural mood
One can never point out the actual path
Of the mysterious need in a female's heart
Man can only follow not knowing how
His faith might erupt [?]
So get down, get down
Get down, get down
Get down
Get down, baby
To the funky, funky, funky groove
Get down, baby
Let the light reflect upon your natural move
Take my soul, baby
Your creative mood shall express itself
Take my soul, baby
After life and desire there is nothing left
Get down, get down
Get down, get down
Get down, get down
Get down, get down

Getting ready to get down
Memories baby we use to get down off this jam
NOW PEOPLE WHO IS STILL JAMMING THIS IN 2018!!!! Me that's who!!!
The Master Storyteller, is Curtis Mayfield, and here tells the truth! This has always been one my favored productions, among the best of his works. ROOTS was a great mix of lyrics and music. Get Down, he said, and I did!
Hip Hop is for people who can't sing, can't dance and can't play an instrument.
This is music for the mind, body, and Soul

The King of Soul
This just a nigga standing in FRONT of shopping go....
Being from the Windy had a chance to meet the soft spoken genius and knew what was up ahead A TRUE VISIONARY, DNO!
They sure don't make music like this nowadays 🤔
Smoooth
Another male black artist had a song around this time and it was also titled, "Get Down," "The Get Down," or "Now Get Down." I can't for the life of me remember the artist, but the song was great, much different tempo, beat and lyrics than Curtis' though. I used to be able to find it on here, but now I've tried everything and no luck...anyone know?

He was definitely soulful.
this is a jam
I love this song on 45 though it was edited, but the uncut album version makes you wanna get down even more; the funky drums and fuzz bass are SO locked in the groove so tight that the horns, strings & vocals fall into place just right...like REAL music's supposed to be!
mothers son is a guitar masterpiece!
Timeless!
This is so groovy! RIP Curtis Mayfield.
A MASTERPIECE THAT CAN NEVER BE REPLICATED!!!
progressive funk
Get down, baby
To the funky, funky, funky groove
Get down, baby
Let the light reflect upon your natural mood
Get down, baby
Your creative mood shall express itself

After life and desire there is nothing left
We're all children of the world
A hungry man in search for a hungry girl
It's strange, so plain we're all cannibal
The most wasted and two faced of all animals
Get down, get down
Get down, get down
Take my soul, baby
When you reel I can feel so much desire
Take my soul, baby
Life unfolds from my soul when you start a fire
So get down, just get down

As the rhythm should follow through your able soul
Get down, baby
Play the part like a pro in a perfect role
Get down, baby
To the funky, funky, funky groove
Get down, baby
Let the light reflect upon your natural mood
One can never point out the actual path
Of the mysterious need in a female's heart
Man can only follow not knowing how
His faith might erupt [Incomprehensible]
So get down, get down
Get down, get down
Get down
Get down, baby
To the funky, funky, funky groove
Get down, baby
Let the light reflect upon your natural move
Take my soul, baby
Your creative mood shall express itself
Take my soul, baby
After life and desire there is nothing left
