Parliament ~ “Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker)”
So I figured I should bring in something upbeat for New Years, and why not drop a clip from 1976 by one of the groups that is often sampled by everyone else!
Lyrics
Tear the roof off, we’re gonna tear the roof off the mother, sucker
Tear the roof off the sucker
(x4)
You’ve got a real type of thing going down, gettin’ down
There’s a whole lot of rhythm going round
(x2)
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk
We gotta have that funk
(x2)
La la la la la
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!
(x2)
You’ve got a real type of thing going down, gettin’ down
There’s a whole lot of rhythm going round
(x2)
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk
We gotta have that funk
(x2)
La la la la la
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!
(x2)
We’re gonna turn this mother out (x2)
You’ve got a real type of thing going down, gettin’ down
There’s a whole lot of rhythm going round
(x4)
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk (let us in we’ll tear this mother out {after 2nd &
3rd})
We gotta have that funk
(x7)
Ow, we want the funk (we’re gonna turn this mother out)
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk (we’re gonna turn this mother out)
We gotta have that funk
(x2)
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk (let us in we’ll tear this mother out {after 2nd &
3rd})
We gotta have that funk
(x2)
We want the funk
Give up the funk
We need the funk
We gotta have that funk
(x3)
La la la la la
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, owww!
(x2)
You’ve got a real type of thing going down, gettin’ down (x2)
There’s a whole lot of rhythm going down
You’ve got a real type of thing going down, gettin’ down
There’s a whole lot of rhythm going down
Ow, we want the funk
Give up the funk
Ow, we need the funk (let us in we’ll tear this mother out {after 2nd &
3rd})
