Lyric
Gotta make a move
to a time that's right for me.
Time to keep me moving
keep me groovin with some energy.
Well now talk about it talk about it
talk about it talk about it.
Talk about talk about talk about movin'.
Gotta move on gotta move on
gotta move on.
Won't you take me to funky town
won't you take me to funky town.
Won't you take me to funky town
won't you take me to funky town.
Won't you take me to funky town
won't you take me to funky town.
Won't you take me to funky town
won't you take me
