[Verse 1]

I'm sick of motherfuckers trying to tell me that they're down with Prince

I was just a baby when I heard him playing Vanity 6

And now it's such a rip-off, got to get to my electric six

Show 'em how it's done – I got to, got to get sho' nuff rich


[Chorus]

Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4

If you like a kick drum, get on the floor

Time we got down and get wet some more

All the mix critics, get out the door

Where is there a party where I can scream?

Holler if you, holler if you know what I mean

Never has the jitterbug been so clean

Blast that "Funky Drummer" and get on the scene


[Bridge]

Gettin' down with your royal badness

Gettin' down with your royal badness

Gettin' down with your royal badness

Gettin' down with your royal badness


[Verse 2]

Been working night and day on my CV since I was seven years old

Didn't know a dollar from a sniff of your raspberry cologne

Ladies, beg your pardon, yeah – sho' nuff, this shit's good to go

Where were you with your face? Gots to get down, honey, dance in the glow


[Chorus]

Snare drum pounds on the 2 and 4

If you like a kick drum, get on the floor

Time we got down and get wet some more

All the mix critics, get out the door

Where is there a party where I can scream?

Holler if you, holler if you know what I mean

Never has the jitterbug been so clean

Blast that "Funky Drummer" and get on the scene


[Bridge]

Gettin' down with your royal badness

Gettin' down with your royal badness

Gettin' down with your royal badness

Gettin' down with your royal badness
