The Funky Bird

[Verse 1]
Extra, extra, did you heard?
That the funky worm is hidin' from the bird
I keep diggin’, I keep scratchin'
But he's runnin’ so fast that I can't catch him
Now the funky worm supposed to be getting down
You can search everywhere but he can't be found
No, more
No, more
Ain't gonna be nothin' to that worm when the bird gets through

[Chorus]
The funky bird is after the worm
When I catch it you can watch him squirm
The funky bird is after the worm
And I'm gonna prove it ain't nothin' to it

[Verse 2]
I’ve searched for the worm in Ohio
And New York City, Dallas, and Chicago
Bet now I ever see him down in Memphis, Tennessee
Soon as he crosses the border, gonna be him and me
Everybody’s decidin' which side they’re gonna choose
Place your bets on Rufus, I sure can't lose
No more
No more
Ain't gonna be nothin' to that worm when the bird gets through

[Chorus]
The funky chicken is after the worm
When I catch it you can watch him squirm
The funky bird is after the worm
And I’m gonna prove it ain't nothin' to it
Watch me now!

[Chicken squawking sounds]

[Verse 3]
No more
No more
No more
No more
The funky bird sho' got to get the worm
The funky bird sho' got to get the worm
He can't stay in the hole all day
Soon or later, he gotta play
He got to be somethin' good to eat
I'm gonna jump on him with both feet

[Outro]
No more
No more
No more
No more
The funky bird is after the worm
Funky bird is after the worm
The funky bird sho' got to get the worm
The funky bird sho' got to get that worm
