1. "Dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'

music right
Play that funky
music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky
music till you
die
Till you die, oh till you die" - Play That Funky

2. "I hear a beat I grab the mic, and then I start this workin'
The kids around the way used to think that I was buggin
But they don't understand how I feel about the funk
I walk with the funk, I talk with the funk
I eat with the funk, I sleep with the funk
I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk
So now what do they say, when I'm walkin' up the block?
Boom shaka laka there goes the Chief Rocka" - Chief Rocka by Lords of the Underground(1993)
