Do the Funky Chicken

Do The Funky Chicken - Rufus Thomas

Yeah come on in now

Come right on down front

I got somein' I wanna show you

Now you're heard of the Popcorn

You're heard of the Dog

You heard about all them other dances

But they have a brand new dance that's goin' around

I wanna show you exactly what I'm talkin' about

I'm talkin' about the Funky Chicken

You're ready

Yeah

I say you're ready

Yeah

Ok here we go

You raise the left arm up

And the right arm too

Let me tell you

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

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 you're

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
