Bootsy Collins - Cholly (Funk Getting Ready to Roll!) lyrics

[Verse 1] I was strung out on Bach, and Beethoven was my thing I dug jazz, I dug rock, anything with a swing But I ran into a friend who told me there was so much more Find the void that you missed there is plenty to explore [Hook 1] We want to take you, Cholly, when we go (You wanna take me?) We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we roll (Well, if you'd play me just a little bit more) But if we play you just a little more (Maybe I will) We'd love to take you, Cholly, when we go [Verse 2] You know right about that time I started to an*lyze what they were trying to tell me They said, "Come on, Cholly, we want to take you somewhere" I didn't know where they was trying to take me Next thing I know they were saying something like this [Hook 2] Funk gettin' ready to go Funk gettin' ready to roll Funk gettin' ready to go Funk gettin' ready to roll Funk gettin' ready to go Funk gettin' ready to roll Funk gettin' ready to go Funk gettin' ready to roll [Verse 3] I would dance, I would sing, I would get lost in my dreams I would fly, but never too high, cause my funk deserted me Now that the door is open wide, and all my funk just can't hide With the syndrome left behind, no, my funk just can't hide [Hook 1] We like to take you, Cholly, when we go We like to take you, Cholly, when we roll (They promise they would play it one more time) We'd like to take you, Cholly, when we go (You know it was in my head, it was in my feet) [Hook 2]
