Joe Tex – Who Gave Birth To The Funk Lyrics
Artist: Joe Tex
Song: Who Gave Birth To The Funk
You know, since the beginning of time
Man has searched the world over
Trying to find the answer to the thing
That has us all puzzled
Now after thousand years of research
You know this question still goes unanswered?
And today you’ll find man out there on the streets
And the highways and byways still askin’ this question
Everybody he sees
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk, y’all
Who gave birth to the funk, alright now
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
I ain’t gon’ wait no longer
Who gave birth to the funk?
Somebody tell me
Who gave birth to the funk, y’all
Who gave birth to the funk?
They said the old South land gave birth to blues
The Wright brothers gave birth to the plane (*Oh yeah!*)
Eli Whitney gave birth to the cotton gin
John Stevens gave birth to the train (*Oh yeah!*)
I wanna know
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
Yeah, Lord
Who gave birth to the funk?
If you don’t tell me
Who gave birth to the funk, y’all
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk, y’all
There’s a man runnin’ ’round named Porkin Stuff
He could be the blame for your funky mind (*Oh yeah!*)
I’ve been lookin’ for him for a long-long time
Maybe he could answer this question of mine
Where are you Mr. Funk, Mr. Funk
Oh where are you Mr. Funk man?
You’ve been turnin’ us on for oh-so very long
And we would just like to see
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
Come out your hidin’ place
Who gave birth to the funk?
Expose yourself!
Who gave birth to the funk?
Take off your funk face, now
Who gave birth to the funk?
Yeah, Lord
Who gave birth to the funk?
We’re gonna see you, Mr. Funk
We’ve been waitin’ on you, Mr. Funk
We wanna smell you, Mr. Funk
We wanna touch you, Mr. Funk
Yeah, now
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
Hey Lord
Who gave birth to the funk?
Who gave birth to the funk?
If anybody know out there, tell me who gave birth to the funk
(Who gave birth to the funk?)
Tell me who gave birth to the funk
Tell me who gave birth to the funk
Lord, I’m hurtin’
Tell me who gave birth to the funk (Woah!)
Twenty-five thousand dollar reward, birth to the funk, to the funk
(Who gave birth to the funk?) Y’all ready?
(Who gave birth to the funk?) (Woah!) Yo!
(Who gave birth to the funk?) Yo-yeah
(Who gave birth to the funk?) Oh Lord!
