Grow Some Funk Of Your
Own
I looked at my watch
And it said a quarter to five
The headlines screamed
But I was still alive
I couldn't understand it
I thought I died last night
Oh I dreamed I'd been in a border town
In a little cantina that the boys had
found
I was desperate to dance
Just to dig the local sounds
When along came a seņorita
She looked so good that I had to meet
her
I was ready to approach her with my English charm
When her brass knuckled boyfriend
Grabbed me my the arm
(and it hurt so much)
He said
Grow some funk of your own amigo
Grow some funk of your own
We no like D way D gringo fight
But there might be a death in Mexico tonight
If you can't grow some funk of your own amigo
Grow some funk of your own
Take my advice, take the next flight
And grow your funk
Grow your funk
At home
(I mean the situation was
ridiculous)
Well I looked for support
From the rest of my friends
Just to get their vanishing trick
they get ten out of ten
I knelt to pray
Just to see if he would comprehend
He said
Grow some funk of your own amigo
Grow some funk of your own
We no like D way D gringo fight
But there might be a death in Mexico tonight
If you can't grow some funk of your own amigo
Grow some funk of your own
Take my advice, take the next flight
And grow your funk
Grow your funk
At home
I think I get it now.
I will grow some funk,
Some funk of my own.
