Who Gave Birth To The Funk

Lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Chorus] 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? [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] Who gave birth to the funk? Who gave birth to the funk? Who gave birth to the funk? Who gave birth to the funk?
