BOBBY movie - Function At The Junction lyrics

rate me

Song by Shorty Long<br /><br>

I'm getting ready for the function at the junction<br>

And baby you'd better come on right now<br>

Because everybody's gonna be there<br>

We got people comin' from everywhere<br>

<br>

We got Ling Ting Tong from China<br>

Long Tall Sally from Carolina<br>

We got 007, the private eye,<br>

And he's bringin' all the guys from "I Spy"<br>

<br>

Come one, come all, we gonna have a ball<br>

down at the function at the junction<br>

And baby you'd better come on right now<br>

<br>

We serving egg foo yung and barbecue<br>

having chicken dumplings and kidney stew<br>

having heap big fun till the break of dawn<br>

gonna shake a tailfeather shoot, it's gonna be a run<br>

<br>

Hold a shotgun on the rooster, and dare him to crow<br>

how could anybody sleep when they could get out on the floor<br>

<br>

Tell him, tell them, tell one and tell `em all.<br>

Tell `em `bout the function at the junction<br>

Tell `em that they'd better come on right now<br>

Tell `em `bout the function at the junction<br>

Tell `em that they'd better come on right now<br>

<br>

Oh the soul brothers, Jitterbugs<br>

Hip cats and fancy hats and<br>

Pretty girls with pretty smiles<br>

All decked out in the latest styles<br>

and Farmer Jim and Guitar Slim and<br>

Betty Boop and ooo-boop-e-doop<br>

and Mohair Sam from Alabam<br>

and Minnesota Fats from Hobo Flats<br>

Breath-takin' Hip-shakin' give it now<br>

Talkin' bout some fascinatin' demonstratin'<br>

<br>

They all be gathering here, from far and near<br>

for the Function at the Junction<br>

Brother, you'd better come on right now<br>

Tell `em `bout the function at the junction<br>

Sister, you'd better come on right now<br>

Talkin' `bout a function at the junction<br>

Everybody you'd better come on right now<br>

<br>
