well, have you been waiting
for a funk like this to arrive
well, have you been waiting
alone all that while?
well, while you were waiting
did it ever cross your mind
that while you were waiting
all that time you could have been mine?
well, i really like you, girl
you make me want to scream
well, have you been waiting
for a love like mine to arrive?
well, have you been waiting
alone all that while?
well, you'd better believe in me
when i say to you
that you'd better concede to me
let my love take you out of your groove
well, i really like you, girl
you make me want to scream
baby, don't you know i love it when
you call my name now, baby?
baby, don't you know i love when
you ignite my flame now, girl?
baby, don't you let your scruples
interrupt our game now, baby
don't you know you'd better take
me now while i'm still playin'?
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
can you feel my presence when
i'm not around you, baby?
can you hear my voice
across a crowded room?
i can be your light cutting
through the darkness, baby
just open up your heart and
let the Reverend take control
do ya like it now? do ya like it now, girl?
i know you like the way i make
my way around your body, baby
i know you like the way i kinda
make you lose control
do ya like it now? do ya like it now, girl?
i know you like the way i kinda
make you lose control
let me take you on a rollercoaster
tour of your senses, baby
'cos sight, sound, taste, smell

do ya like it now? do ya like it now, girl?
sister p's been as it is
dancing me through my crisis i don't like what i've found
pullin' me along for the magic ride as it is
pullin' me along for the magic ride as it is
i can feel her groove pumpin' the foundation i've been buildin' on
through the darkness as it is
of a space in a time of my life was never steady ground
devoid of highs as it is, what it was
devoid of highs cease to be, the love is lost
as it is
sister p's been lookin' at me with i can't stand the thought of you
some very mischievous eyes as it is
i can tell by the way she moves well, i can't bear the sound
her mind be a carousel as it is
maybe it's the hefeweisen that's the years i wasted loving you
conjuring up that smile as it is
but if she looks at me like that again, by those chains, i'm no longer bound
she'll be blowin' up my mind as it is
blowin' up my mind it's time to climb up outta here
i be havin' a fine time as it is, as it is
cos' she's been dancin' i can hear the sister callin' me
as it is, as it is
drinkin' red to clear the head chronic up, let's boogie down
as 'as' pumps across the floor, as it is, what it was
boppin' out of the darkside y'all cease to be, the love is lost
never looked
like an option before repeat first verse
a little shot of j.b.
draws me closer to the floor i love the way you move your thang
i'm beginnin' to like this feelin' it grooves me through the night
gimme, gimme, gimme, some more i love the way you shake that thang
blowin' up my mind it makes me feel all right
i've been having a fine time i love the way you smell, girl
everybody's dancin' and i love the way you taste
blowin' up my mind take my love today, girl,
i've been having a fine time there ain't nuthin' here to waste
she's been dancin'
she's been dancin'
she's been dancin'
she's been dancin'
did you ever notice how often you say
'hot damn' in the summer time?
by early may it's starting to look like
sunshine equals skintime...
hot damn
once the smell of fresh cut grass fills the
air you know that it's nearly time
for the girls to begin to show skin not
seen through all last wintertime
and as they start to parade in the street
it's so sweet. i wish i could spend more time
layin' out in the sun, so much fun, just
watching the pretty phillies walkin' by
hot damn
never hit on another brother's lover, no, no, no
just a fleeting moment of ecstasy
what you get, baby, it ain't what you see
another town, another place,
another crowd, another face
the look of love in her eye
it's a look i've seen a thousand times
never hit on another brother's lover
a prospect here, a pospect there
your lover's home and unaware
a subtle look, a wave of hair
and all your tension's laid to bear
a little chat, a little wine,
will it be your place, child, or mine?
a little 72, a little 69
brings satisfaction every time
never hit on another brother's lover, no, no, no
just a fleeting moment of ecstasy
what you get, baby, it ain't what you see
your lover's look, your lover's glare
as signs of doubt invade her stare
can you expect her to believe
that no one else fulfills those needs?
never hit on another brother's lover, no, no, no
you'd better not treat her wrong
you better treat her right
or you'll be findin' yourself alone late at night
there's nothin' good to being alone
there's nothin' good to being alone
listen to me children
let me preach to you awhile
i wanna take you to a new place
where the funk is open wide
lemme tell ya 'bout a new breed
they're gonna lay it on ya, child
we're gonna take ya to a higher plane
put a match unto your fire
new breed variations on a groove
new breed variations on a groove
won't you listen to me, people?
let me take you on a ride
through some brand new realms of funkdom
where the population's going wild
listen to me, children
as i testify awhile
'bout a grindin', bumpin' feelin'
that'll raise you to the sky
i'm just talkin' 'bout the funk, y'all
bad, bold, beautiful and blue
just start it with the beat, y'all
then build upon the groove
new breed variations on a groove
new breed variations on a groove
god was sitting behind his desk
deciding which people to feed
the starving millions around the world
or the few of wealth and greed
what am i gonna do now?
hey, ho, what's happenin'?
hey, ho, i'm losin' control
what's happenin'? what's happenin'?
sipping his brandy in a vain attempt
to put his nerves at ease
how did this happen to my beautiful eden?
now rife with war and disease...
what have i created?
hey, ho, what's happenin'?
hey, ho, i'm losin' control
what's happenin'? what's happenin'?
wearily, he rises from his swivel chair
he begins to pace the suite
there ain't nobody here to care
as he ponders the ways of his chosen flock
shame pushes him to his knees
all through these eons
i've had no one to pray to...
hey, ho, what's happenin'?
hey, ho, i'm losin' control
what's happenin'? what's happenin'?
babe, i like the way you walk
and babe i like your style
girl, i dig the way you sway
you really drive me wild
girl, you got the sweetest eyes
they fill me with their fire
i wanna wrap you in my arms
and quench your wild desires
my nape neck hairs are standin'
they seem to be electrified
my goosebumps are gettin' goosebumps
from the power of your smile
you really drive me wild
girl, i dig your point of view
the way you look at life
the freedom that exudes from you
bowls me over like kryptonite
i love the way we fit together
interlocked, entwined
well, i could lie right here forever
with heaven in my mind
you really drive me wild
girl, i dig your tenderness
you make me feel so fine
i wanna have you for breakfast
though we've feasted through the night
you really drive me wild............................
what the hell am i to do with all these plans of mind?
you told me that we'd be together until the end of time
i just can't believe your timing, baby, in this act of selfishness
jesus christ, i'm all alone in this big and empty nest
all that scrimpin' and savin' i went and put myself through
there were years of toilin' and sweatin'
so i could spend my final years with you
but now i've got to spend my tme puttin' flowers on your stone
you up and died on me
well, it's a little late now, baby
for cryin' on my part, and i'm just a little long in the tooth,
girl, to make a brand new start
it's all become too much for me just too much for me to bear
i won't stay here without you, girl
because there's nobody here to care
you up and died on me
girl, have you ever been lonely?
girl, have you ever been lonely?
rejoice! rejoice! and lend your voice
get ready for the final chapter
roll up! roll up! and fill your cup
and pause for this moment in time
witness! witness! the fall of an empire
the end of a thousand year reign
we've got no invading hordes here
just inner turmoil and pian
fe fi fo fum
i can smell the blood of a falling empire
it's time to hand things over
jewels, with reluctance, returned
trinkets still left in possession
are now charred and ragged and burned
it seems even god has started to realize
what a foul excuse you've been
just look at what you've admitted to
and imagine the horrors unseen
fe fi fo fum
i can smell the blood of a falling empire
2 a.m., 14 below is closed
my work is done but i'm feelin' low
and i, i wanna play the night away
i can't stand to be alone
i gotta bring over some people
to fill up my empty home, yes i do now
havin' a party, having a party
havin' a party, we're having a party, people
put out the word to the chosen few
i got the s.m.c., my friends, bring
your choice of brews, your choice of brews
the buzz is on and the mood is set
the candles burn as the turntables
turn by the t.v. set, yes they do
havin' a party, having a party
havin' a party, we're having a party, people
a party, people, and everybody's gettin' down
the monster man is feelin' smooth
in the mirror, he's bustin' moves
'til he finds his groove
'til he finds his groove
johnny post is feelin' numb
he's gonna drink until the sun
comes out to play. he's always
runnin' away. he's always runnin away
havin' a party, having a party
havin' a party, we're having a party, people
reggie love is dressed in plaid
he's gonna bop the night away
'cuz he's come a long way
from that ventury county
girly girl by the telephone
she's been waiting on her man to call
so she can share her love
share her love
havin' a party, having a party
havin' a party, we're having a party, people
jungleberry is scabbin' tabs
he'll smoke everything ya have
if you let him get away with it
let him get away with it, let him get away with it
away with it, away with it
half-a-tash is havin' plenty of fun

like they're goin' out of style
havin' a party, having a party
havin' a party, we're having a party, people
