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 diggin’ the funky beat
down on funky street
that’s where the grooviest people meet
from atlanta georgia goin’ on down to the border
every boy is dancin’ with somebody’s daughter
groovin’ in the city got to get down with it
down on funky street we’re diggin’ that funky beat
down on funky street
that’s where the groovier people meet
jump up and down and you’re turnin’ around
you bend your knees half way down to the ground
you move it to the west and you move it to the south
you turn it around and kiss your partner in the mouth
down on funky street diggin’ that funky beat
down on funky street
where the grooviest people meet
sweet soul music is in the air
people they’re comin’ from everywhere
comin’ from the east comin’ from the west
dancin’ with the one that they love the best
one c’mon everybody got to hit the floor
three c’mon baby and go with me
two used be the bad boogaloo
one got to have just a little fun
down on funky street diggin’ the funky beat
down on funky street diggin’ the funky beat
down on funky street diggin’ the funky beat
down on funky street we’re doing the swinging shingaling
