Lyrics

[THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] Oh, Peter Peter was a good boy He always waited patiently for all the things he knew he deserved And Peter Peter saw it coming He knew that he would leave his mark With the talents he'd been given by God But the world doesn't give you nothing for free And life can quickly pass you by You have to make your own opportunity While you are young and can still try Oh baby You gotta grab something Grab something Hold on tight While you are young You are young And you still can fight You gotta grab something Grab something And never let go [DESMOND] 'Cause I got on my funk suit Yea, put on your funk suit Are you feeling funky now Can you feel that funk now [JUNIOR] Ah Ooh   Yea [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] Little Johnny [DESMOND and JUNIOR] Put the funk in the trunk [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] Johnny was a good boy [DESMOND and JUNIOR] Where did you put that funk [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] Johnny went to school and learned All the things he thought would help him along [DESMOND and JUNIOR] Have you seen my funk [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] And Johnny [DESMOND and JUNIOR] You are a funky lady [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] Johnny felt it coming [DESMOND and JUNIOR] In my funk house [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] He knew that he could change the world That his knowledge would keep it from wrong [DESMOND and JUNIOR] In my funk room [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] But your learning doesn't give you nothing alone And soon your chances all are dead [DESMOND and JUNIOR] Play that funky music [THE SUBTLE DISTINCTIONS] You have to make your way before you are grown Before you see what lies ahead Oh baby You gotta grab something Grab something Swallow your pride It may feel wrong, may feel wrong Somewhere deep inside You gotta grab something Grab something And never let go [JUNIOR] Where is that funk a funk a funk funk, yea [MINGUS, spoken] Hold on a second.
