Lyrics The Definition of Funk - Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra

The Definition of Funk

What is funk?
Everybody’s talking about it
How do you define it?
What is the definition of funk?
Funk is being the only white boy playing drums in an all black Baptist church
Funk is kissing Reverend Williams daughter in the back of the church bus
For sure you’re right when you know you’re right
Funk is 50% perspiration, 40% inspiration, and 10% shaking booties across the
nation
Can you dig it?
Funk don’t make no promises it can’t keep
Funk is the word
President in chief Mr. James Brown
Secretary of fine ass, Betty Davis
George Clinton
Cymande
Bootsie Collins
Curtis Mayfield
Hahaha
What about the new leaders
The modrn torch bearers of the funk
Sharon Jons and the Dap Kings
The phenomenal Hand Clap Band y’all
The new master sounds, The Baker Brothers
Nino
My man Clutchy Hopkins
Shawn Lee
The Heliocentrics
Connie Price and the Keystones
The Lions
Poets of Rhythem
Nicole Willis and The Soul Investigators
Mighty Imperials
El Michels Affair
Funk is it’s own reward
