Gotta make a move
To a town that's right for me
Town to keep me movin'
Keep me groovin' with some energy.
Well I 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 Funkytown?
Won't you take me to Funkytown?
Won't you take me to Funkytown?
Won't you take me to Funkytown?
Won't you take me to Funkytown?
Won't you take me to Funkytown?
Won't you take me to Funkytown?
