Let's do the Funky The Funky Western Civilization It's really spunky It's just like summertime vacation You just grab your partner by the hair Throw her down and leave her there They put Jesus on a cross They put a hole in J.F.K. They put Hitler in the driver's seat And looked the other way
Now they've got poison in the water And the whole world in a trance But just because we're hypnotized That don't mean we can't dance We've got the Funky The Funky Western Civilization Oh get down Get funky Get Western (Own up to it boys and girls) And if you try real hard Maybe you can even get Civilized ...
