Funkentelechy |
Mood control is designed to render funkable |
Ideas brought to you by the makers of Mr. Prolong |
Better known as Urge Overkill |
The pimping of the Pleasure Principle |
Oh, but we’ll be pecking lightly |
Like a woodpecker with a headache |
'Cause it’s cheaper to funk |
Than it is to pay attention |
You dig? |
Huck-a-buck |
A-Lo and behold, someone’s funking with the mood control |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(deprogram, program) |
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill |
(peck me lightly like a woodpecker with a headache) |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(Funk! The nonprofit organization) |
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill |
Where’d you get your funk from (where'd you get that funk from?) |
Heh! |
Name that feeling! |
Would you trade your funk for what’s behind the third door? |
The big deal! |
Heads I win, tails you lose! |
How do you spell relief? |
Huck-a-buck, sucker! |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(Ho! The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill) |
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(You deserve a break today) |
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill |
(Have it your way) |
Where’d you get that funk from? |
(Ooh, who was that? ha ha ha ha ha ha, ohh ohh ohh) |
The salvation of inspiration is the motivation |
Fasten your safety belt |
While I take you face-to-face with the nosiest computer I know |
Where’d you get that funk from? |
When I count to ten I want you to jump up! |
Stay there! |
Oh, ho! |
But don’t come down til I Flash the Light |
You deserve a break today, have it your way |
Funk is not domestically produced. |
Ho! |
There’s nothing that the proper attitude won’t render… funkable |
Where’d you get your funk from? |
Funktism! |
Hey! |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(Mood control!) |
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(Urge overkill!) |
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill |
(yeah, ho!) |
Where’d you get that funk from? |
(Program) |
Where’d you get that funk from? |
(Deprogram) |
(And reprogram) |
Heads I win, tails you lose (how do you spell relief?) |
Would you trade your funk… for this? |
(you deserve a break today) |
Or that? |
(have it your way) |
A funk a day keeps the nose away… ain't it true! |
I ain’t gonna hold the lettuce, the pickles or the mustard (ha ha!) |
Yo! |
Step up and dance until I tell you to come down |
You deserve a break today, sucker! |
I’m gonna flash the light and flop the j, down again??? |
This is mood de-control |
Saying pay more attention |
For free speech is high finance |
Possible funkability??? |
Ho, Let the funk begin! |
Do anybody have change for funk? |
Where’d you get your funk from? |
Oh yes, this is heavyweight funk |
Put up your dukes, haha! |
You want to funk around with me, oh! |
This is mood de-control, yo-ho! |
The home of the P. Funk, the Bomb |
Mind your wants 'cause there’s someone that wants your mind |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill) |
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill |
(How do you spell relief?) |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill) |
Nothing seems to ever cure your ill |
(whoa, this is the big pill) |
(yeah, ho!) |
Where’d you get that funk from? |
(there they go again, there they go again) |
(You might as well pay attention, free speech is too high) |
Where’d you get that funk from? |
(Huck-a-buck! Ho!) |
(You deserve a break today) |
(How do you spell relief?) |
Where’d you get that funk from? |
(Hey, wind me up!) |
Yeah! |
Take it to the bridge, hahaha |
Let’s take it to the stoop??? |
This is mood control |
Funkentelechy (program, deprogram, reprogram) |
Funkentelechy (how's your funkentelechy) |
Funkentelechy (I got you back into turnaround) |

How’s your funk-entelechy? |
(Nothing ever seems to cure your ill) |
Where’d you get your funk from? |
(ho!) |
You’re in the presence of your future |
You deserve a break today |
Have it your way |
I ain’t gonna hold the lettuce, the pickles or the mustard |
A funk a day keep the Nose away |
Mind your wants 'cause someone wants your mind |
Funk is a non-profit organization |
Peck me lightly, like a woodpecker with a headache |
'Cause funk is not domestically produced |
It is responsive to your mood |
You can score it any day |
On WEFUNK, we-funk, HO! |
Name that feeling, baby |
This is mood de-control |
Program, reprogram and deprogram |
Funkentelechy (how's your funkentelechy?) |
Funkentelechy (you might as well pay attention free speech is too high) |
Funkentelechy (we are specially programmed for your p’s???) |
Funkentelechy (unfunky possibilities arrive for the makers of urge overkill) |
Funkentelechy (and not your funky funny bone) |
Funkentelechy (you deserve a break today so name that feeling) |
Funkentelechy (would you trade your funk for what’s behind the third door) |
Funkentelechy (the big deal, heads I win, tails you lose) |
Funkentelechy (there's nothing that funk will not render funkable) |
Funkentelechy (this is mood decontrol, urge you to Funk On!) |
Funkentelechy (oh ho, how’s your funk-en-tel-echy?) |
Funkentelechy (ideas brought to you by the makers of urge overkill) |
Do not respond |
This has been a test |
Ha ha ha ha ha! |
And once again the Pleasure Principle has been rescued |
With the aid of the funk |
(this is Mr. Prolong) |
How’s your funk-en-te-lechy? |
(I have to leave early today, ha ha ha) |
And in doing so, (How's your funk-entelechy?) |
Freed the possibilities of funk beyond compare (How's your funk-entelechy?) |
Program, deprogram, reprogram (How's your funk-entelechy?) |
When you’re taking every kind of pill (How do you spell relief) |
Nothing ever seems to cure your ill (You deserve a break today) |
When you’re taking every kind of pill (ha ha ha ha) |
Nothing ever seems to cure your ill (have it your way, this is the doctor) |
When you’re taking every kind of pill |
(saying, the bigger the headache, the bigger the pill) |
Nothing ever seems to cure your ill (what's happening?) |
Ha ha ha |
Sucker! |
How’s your funk? |
How’s your funk? |
(what's happening?) |
