Nothing has changed (la, la, la)
Even the bang remains the same
(in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
We still needs to funk
(in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo-woo
Nothing has changed (nothing has changed)
(in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Or is the way that you picture me
(in the pocket, right smack there in the socket)
Colored by the way you've been treated in a situation that comes to mind
Nothing has changed except for you and I
Oh, no no no
Please don't let the lights that blind
Change the way you see me
Don't let it change the way you see me
There's a lot of time to move from town to town
Lots of time to move from town to town
Very seldom, I can settle down
And I can't settle down
No, no

(right smack dab in the socket)

We need the bomb (in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Gots to have the bomb (got to have the funk)

We need the bomb (in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
We need the funk, colour me funky
Gots to have the bomb

We need the bomb (in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Gots to have the bomb (got to have the funk)

We need the bomb (in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Gots to have the bomb (colour me funky, we need the funk)

We need the bomb (in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Gots to have the bomb

Shine your light, shine your light on your funk

We need the bomb (in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Gots to have the bomb (to have the funk, heyheyhey)

We need the bomb
Gots to have the bomb (heyheyhey)

Haaii, ohhh

Sweeter than the jam (join the band)
Granny used to can (join the band)

Oh back, way back!
Way back, ooh, in them good old days
Y'all know what I'm talking about
Ain't a damn thing changed

Join the fun
Dad-gum, dad-gum, baba

Nothing has changed
Even the bang remains the same, hey
We still need the funk
Got to have the funk
Nothing has changed (nothing has changed)

Or is the way you perceive me
Colored by the way you've been treated in a situation that comes to mind
Oh, no
Nothing has changed
Except for you and I
Please don't let the lights that blind
Change the way you see me (don't you change the way you see me)

There's a lot of time
To go from town to town
And we'll be bringing the funk around
And you know I can't settle down

Giving up the funk (calling the mothership, calling the mothership) (x2)

And by the time you get to Venus
You should be funky!
