One, two, three, four
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Get up, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
They're doing it down in Nassau
Drive that funky soul
They're doing it by the beach, hah
They're driving that funky soul
New York, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
Let your body pop
And let your feelings flow
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
When I say Sagittarius
Drive that funky soul
When I say Pisces, holler
And drive your funky soul
When I say Gemini, heh
And drive that funky soul
When I say Capricorn, woah
Drive your funky soul
When I say Scorpio, Virgo
Drive your funky soul
If I say Cancer
Can you drive that funky soul?
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
Slaughter, get on up, get yourself together
Drive that funky soul
Leo, get yourself together
And drive your funky soul
Aquarius, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Get up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Fred, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Drivin', drivin, I need some money
Do you need some money?
Drive your funky soul
The cats on the corner
Drive that funky soul
The girl that's standing out there
Drive that funky soul
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that funky
Fred, hit it!
Hit it! Hit it!

Going to get it, going to get it
Got to get some money and drive that funky soul
Got to get some money, got to get some money
I need a little money, oh yeah
A little bit of money
Fred, I need 1 million, 2 million, 3 million
Brother? (Yeah) Will 1 million be enough? (Better get two)
(But since the man got three, we better get you to three, you understand)
Can we use the three?
Take 'em on home, Fred, take 'em
Get up, get yourself together

There it is, there it is
There it is
Raise up

Raise on up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
Raise up, get yourself together
And drive that funky soul
You don't miss nothing you never had
But you miss so much you wish you could get, hah
I guess you can put that together
It takes a man to find a woman
It takes a woman to find what a man used to be
Get up
Get on up
Get yourself together
Drive that funky soul
Everybody needs somebody, drive that funky soul
Everybody needs somebody, drive that funky soul
Get up, get yourself together, drive your funky soul
Get up

Drive that funky soul

Drive that funky soul
Raise up
