Cholly (Funk Gettin` Ready To Roll) (Original) - Funkadelic
I was strung out on Bach
And Beethoven was my thing
I dug jazz I dug rock
Anything with a swing
Then I ran into a friend
Who told me
there was so much more
Find the void that you missed
There is plenty to explore
We want to take you
Cholly when we go
You wanna take me
We'd like to take you
Cholly when we roll
Well if you'd play me
just a little bit more
But if we play you
just a little more
Maybe I will
We'd love to take you
Cholly when we go
You know right about
that time I started
To analyze what
they were trying to tell
Me they said
Come on Cholly
we want to
take you somewhere
I didn't know where
They was trying to take me
next thing I
Know they were saying
something like this
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll what
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
What in the world are
they talking about
Funk gettin' ready to roll gettin'
ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll see
Ive Bach I love Beethoven
Funk gettin' ready to go
Funk gettin' ready to roll
I would dance I would sing
I could get lost in my dreams
I would fly but never too high
'Cause my funk deserted me
Now that the door is open wide
And all my funk just can't hide
With the syndrome left behind
No my funk just can't hide
We like to take you
Cholly when we go
We like to take you
Cholly when we roll
They promise they would play
one more time
But if we play you
just a little bit more

You know
It was in my hands
It was in my feet
I got it all over me
Yes I did I got it all over me
Got to go got to go
Got to go with the funk
Get ready
I would waltz
I would sing
I would get lost
in my dreams
