Let’s go on to the, let’s go, come on

Hit it, let’s go to the funky side of town

Over there, where the people get on down

All get together all across the tracks

And they party all night long, 'til night kiss day

Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go

Let’s go, let’s go (let's join), let’s go, let’s go

Let’s go to the funky side of town, over there

On the hills that funky sound (come on!), let’s go (sing!)

People over there, so big on love
