James Brown - Gonna Have A Funky Good Time Lyrics






Ah do it, yeah
Clap my body
Her body
My body
Clap your body
My body
Her body
Clap my body
Her body
My body
Clap your body
My body
Clap your body
My body
All right

We're gonna have a funky good time [x5]
Take 'em up
We gotta take you higher
We're gonna have a funky good time [x3]
Take 'em up

We gotta take you higher
Bad
You can take us up all the way
Yeah
You take us up
Take us up
Make me high
Make me high
Make me high
A natural high
A ghetto high
Giant high
High
High
Nothin' but high
Downright high
Everybody high
Need to get high
Down high
Yo high
Bad, bad, bad, bad...
Give them a big round of applause
Hear what I say
Give 'em a big round of applause

Take 'em up
Got to take 'em higher
We gotta take 'em higher
We're gonna have a funky good time [x7]

  4. J.... D....

    The master. This song is the classic example of this band taking simplicity and stuffing it with uncompromising muscle. His influence on popular music is still being assessed.

    ok I'm in the comments section + the very 1st comment a brother said James was unapologetically black. now any 1 whoever is even just a casual James Brown fan knows that a 100 % fact not even open for discussion. now I mean no disrespect when I ask this question is if people being pro black or proud of their heritage why are you even listening to James Brown let alone creeping into the comments. now the brother said 'I knew someone was gonna bring up race ' and my response is how can you not feel some kind of pride or get a little bop in your step? I mean the dude had 1 song titled "Say It Loud I'm Black +I'm Proud " I mean the whole song about race. stay the eff away from James Brown discography if you worried about race + again no disrespect intended, definitely stay outta the comment section if people being proud of being black might not agree with you. Say it loud I'm black and I'm proud. God bless

    When music was music, there is nothing like old school music. Prince himself said, James Brown was a big influence on him, his musoc and moves, but most important how he had control over his BAND.
