I make a few bucks working hard all day just doing what I can do
Got to save my money to pay the rent, before the month is through
But when my day is over I like to hang in Smokey bars
Gotta put some soul back in my life playing blues on my guitar
Doing it Funky
Yeah doing it Funky
I'm gonna play it cool just the way I feel
Gonna reach down deep where I get real
Funky
Doing it Funky
I got the blues in my fingers but the funk is in my soul
When nothing else is making sense it's the one thing I control
Sometimes I just get troubled about this lousy hand I drew
That old regret I soon forget when I'm playing a song for you
I'm doing it Funky
Yeah doing it Funky
I'm gonna play it hard just the way I feel
Gonna reach down deep where I get real
Funky
Doing it Funky
There's a guy whose ready for a cute young Betty, can't resist his advance
He's heading on down to Broadway to get a little one night romance
He's playing his cards real closely not leaving it up to chance
But the girls downtown just want to get down with some bumping sand grinding dance
Their doing it Funky
Yeah, doing it Funky
Their moving and grooving to the way they feel
If you want to be ready you got to get real
Funky
Do it funky
