[Intro] Ooh, ooh Yeah, yeah Uh-huh [Harmony1] A band started playin' on Funk Street A band started playin' on Funk Street We leaned out the windows, one by one We leaned out the windows, one by one [Verse 1] First head out the window Then another, then three Pots on the stove still simmer But the whole block walks to me Somebody hollers, “What that is?” Somebody says, “Come see” I got my shoes on fast And the sidewalk's callin' me [Prechorus] Hear that crowd start risin' Hear that floorboards knock One more step to the corner And the whole place gonna pop [Chorus] Come on down to Funk Street Come on down, come on down Hands up, feet loose Turn this block around Come on down to Funk Street We don't need no plan Good food, good times Let it all go, fam [Harmony2] Hey now, hey now Everybody move in Hey now, hey now Let the whole night spin [Verse 2] Mr. Lee in his work boots Mama June with the pie Kids chasing paper cups Like fireflies in July A man on the stoop starts clappin' Two girls answer, “Right on!” Before the first song's over The whole dang street is on [Prechorus] Hear that crowd start risin' Hear that floorboards knock One more step to the corner And the whole place gonna pop [Chorus] Come on down to Funk Street Come on down, come on down Hands up, feet loose Turn this block around Come on down to Funk Street We don't need no plan Good food, good times Let it all go, fam [Harmony3] Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Bring the joy outside Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Let the whole block shine [Verse 3] Someone brought a grill out front Someone brought a folding chair Cornbread, collards, red beans Passed around everywhere Auntie says, “Go on, baby” And the kids say, “We here!” Even the old church ladies Got a two-step in their prayer [Prechorus] Hear that crowd start risin' Hear that floorboards knock One more step to the corner And the whole place gonna pop [Chorus] Come on down to Funk Street Come on down, come on down Hands up, feet loose Turn this block around Come on down to Funk Street We don't need no plan Good food, good times Let it all go, fam [Verse 4] By the end of the evening Every porch got a smile Necks still nodding to the rhythm Even after a while We came out for a minute Stayed until the moon got high A block turned into magic And nobody asked why [Bridge] If you hear it, then you know it That invitation in the air Leave your worries at the curb, baby Bring your voice and bring your chair Sing it back, sing it louder Let the whole street hear This is how a neighborhood Turns a night into a year [Outro] Ooh, ooh Come on down Yeah, yeah Funk Street all night
