Cholly (Funk Getting Ready To Roll) - Original - Funkadelic

I was strung out on Bach

And Beethoven was my thing

I dug jazz I dug rock

Anything with a swing

But I ran into a friend

Who told me there was so much more

Find the void that you missed

There is plenty to explore

We want to take you Cholly when we go

You wanna take me

We'd like to take you Cholly when we roll

Well if you'd play me just a little bit more

But if we play you just a little more

Maybe I will

We'd love to take you Cholly when we go

You know right about that time

I started to analyze what they were trying to tell me

They said "Come on Cholly

We want to take you somewhere"

I didn't know where they was trying to take me

Next thing I know they were saying something like this

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

I would dance I would sing

I would get lost in my dreams

I would fly but never too high

'Cause my funk deserted me

Now that the door is open wide

And all my funk just can't hide

With the syndrome left behind

No my funk just can't hide

We like to take you Cholly when we go

We like to take you Cholly when we roll

They promise they would play it one more time

We'd like to take you Cholly when we go

You know it was in my head it was in my feet

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go

Funk gettin' ready to roll

Funk gettin' ready to go
