Lyrics
THEY CALL ME......
They call me 'Cosmic Funk',
A Psychedelic Phenomenon
Sometimes I rock and roll
But all the time, I'm on the one
Since the beginning
I got so deep I blew your mind
Well baby, that's all right
'cause I'll do it all the time!
A.
Some thangs are strange, Hustla
But, then of course, some thangs Are!
Take my man Freaky Fred
Who thought he was a Superstar!
Boy, Fred had everything
He was moving up and right on track
But pretty soon, Fred was dead
'cause he overdosed himselof on crack!
THEY CALL ME.......
They call me 'Cosmic Funk'
A Psychedelic Phenomenon
Sometimes I rock and roll
But all the time, I'm on the one
Since the beginning
I got so deep I blew your mind
Well baby, that's alright
'cause I'll do it all the time.
B.
They laughed as Jack walked by
They think he's gay, but he's really shy
Nicest dude you'll ever meet
His disposition is kind of sweet
He's a very happy man
And he lives a very decent life
But, who would ever had thought
That a few years back, he killed his wife!
THEY CALL ME.........COSMIC FUNK, BAY-BAY!
BAY...........BAY! YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!
THEY CALL ME..........
They call me 'Cosmic Funk'
A Psychedelic Phenomenon
Sometimes I rock and roll
But all the time, I'm on the one
Since the beginning
I got so deep, I blew your mind
Well ya'll, that's alright
'cause I'll do it all the time!
C.
You haven't seen obscence
Until you've met Virginia Greene
She's nasty through and through
And her slate is far from clean!
A lady must defend herself
That's why Ginny packs a gun
BUT...because of this, she hates herself
Because 'Sister' Ginny is a Nun!
(stamp on 'em right now! stamp 'em all out like ants!)
