Lyrics

[Verse 1] Extra, extra, did you heard? That the funky worm is hidin' from the bird I keep diggin', I keep scratchin' But he's runnin' so fast that I can't catch him Now the funky worm supposed to be getting down You can search everywhere but he can't be found No, more No, more Ain't gonna be nothin' to that worm when the bird gets through [Chorus] The funky bird is after the worm When I catch it you can watch him squirm The funky bird is after the worm And I'm gonna prove it ain't nothin' to it [Verse 2] I've searched for the worm in Ohio And New York City, Dallas, and Chicago Bet now I ever see him down in Memphis, Tennessee Soon as he crosses the border, gonna be him and me Everybody's decidin' which side they're gonna choose Place your bets on Rufus, I sure can't lose No more No more Ain't gonna be nothin' to that worm when the bird gets through [Chorus] The funky chicken is after the worm When I catch it you can watch him squirm The funky bird is after the worm And I'm gonna prove it ain't nothin' to it Watch me now! [Chicken squawking sounds] [Verse 3] No more No more No more No more The funky bird sho' got to get the worm The funky bird sho' got to get the worm He can't stay in the hole all day Soon or later, he gotta play He got to be somethin' good to eat I'm gonna jump on him with both feet [Outro] No more No more No more No more The funky bird is after the worm Funky bird is after the worm The funky bird sho' got to get the worm The funky bird sho' got to get that worm
