Album: 100 Hits of the 70's

Yeah, c'mon in, now.
Come right on down front.
I got som'in' I wanna show ya.
Now, y'all heard of the Popcorn.
Y'all heard of the Dog.
An' you heard about all them other dances.
But, they hav'a brand new dance tha's goin' around,
I wanna show you exactly what I'm talkin' about.
I'm talkin' about the Funky Chicken.
Y'all ready?
[A couple of people in the crowd shout, "Yeah."]
I say, y'all ready?
[A couple more people in the crowd shout, "Yeah."]
Ok, here we go.

You raise the left arm up,
And the right arm too.
Let me tell ya,
Just what to do.
Start both arms to flappin'
Start the feet to kickin'
That's when you know,
You're doin' the Funky Chicken.
Oh-ho.

Second spasm:
You put both arms up,
Across your face.
Your knees start a-wigg'lin'
All over the place.
You flap your arms,
And your feet start kickin'
Then you know,
You're doin' the Funky Chicken.
Oh-ho. Ay-hay.

[Spoken:]
Oaww, I'm feelin' it now.
I feel so unnecessary.
This is the kinda, this is the kinda stuff,
That makes you feel like you wanna do somethin' nasty.
Like wear some chicken gravy on your white shirt.
Right down front.
Here we go, y'all.

[Sung:]
You work both arms,
And you work both feet.
You're together, baby,
You're on the beat.
You flap your arms,
And your feet start kickin'
Then you know,
You're doin' the Funky Chicken.
Oh-ho. It's alright.

Do the Funky Chicken, now.
Do the Funky Chicken, now.
Do the Funky Chicken, now.
Do the Funky Chicken, now.
Do the Funky Chicken, now. Ha ha ha!
Do the Funky Chicken, now. Ha ha ha!
Do the Funky Chicken, now. Ha ha ha!
Do the Funky Chicken, now. Ha ha ha!
Oh-ho. Do the Funky Chicken, now.
Oh-ho. Do the Funky Chicken, now.
[Fade.]
Oh-ho. Do the Funky Chicken, now.
Oh-ho. Do the Funky Chicken...
