[Pre-Chorus]
D
One used to be the shot gun
D
Two used to be the bad bougalou
D
Three used to be the swing shing-a-ling
D
Four used to be the funky four fingers

[Chorus]
D                   C
Down on funky street
D                     C
Diggin' the funky beat
D                   C
Down on funky street
D                                    C    D
That's where the grooviest people meet

[1st Verse]
D                    C
From Atlanta, Georgia
D                          C
Goin' on down to the border
D                   C
Every boy is dancin'
D                            C
Man! with somebody's daughter
D                   C
Groovin' in the city

Got to get down with it

[Bridge]
D                   F     D
Jump up and down and move all around

Ben your knees half way down to the ground
         D         F     D
Move it to the west and you move it to the south

Turn it around and kick your patner in the mouth

[Chorus]
D                   C
Down on funky street
D                     C
Diggin' the funky beat

Down on funky street

That's where the grooviest people meet

D    C
Sweet soul music is in the air

People are comin' from everywhere
D     C
Comin' from the east, comin' from the west
D     C
Dancin' with the one they live the best

[Pre-Chorus]
D
One, c'mon everybody, you got to hit the floor
D
Three, c'mon baby and go with me
D
Two used to be the bad bougalou

Digin' the funky beat

D                   C
Down on funky street
D                     C
Diggin' the funky beat
