[Intro]
Ha, ha, ha, ha ha

[Verse 1]
If your body needs water
Keep on dancing 'cause you oughta
Keep the blood flowin' down to your feet
Brother Maurice will be 'round in a minute
With a bucket, filled in it, squirrel meat
The blood real good if you drink it real fast
But, the aftertaste just lasts and lasts
So, if you kiss somebody, you'll wanna party all night
All right!

[Chorus]
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Superfunkycalifragisexy

[Verse 2]
If you do too much, your skin will be sensitive to touch
The first person that touch you, you'll wanna fuck
You take 'em to your crib, and you tie them to a chair
And you make funny faces 'til they get really scared
Then you turn on the neon, then you play with yourself
Til you turn them on

[Refrain]
This beat is on time, refined and designed
To make you do the do

[Chorus]
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Superfunkycalifragisexy

[Verse 3]
This chair goes round and round, I feel like a clown
'Cause I'm stripped down, It's all fun and games
'Til the very next day
'Til, damn, you don't remember my name
Maybe I'll see you next Thursday night, maybe I won't
But that's alright
'Cause in my possession is a signed confession
That says, I was the best you'd ever had
Too bad

[Refrain]
This beat is on time, refined and designed
To make you do the do

[Chorus]
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Superfunkycalifragisexy

[Bridge]
Baby
Keep the blood flowin' down to your feet
Brother Maurice will be 'round in a minute

[Chorus]
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Superfunkycalifragisexy

[Refrain]
This beat is on time, refined and designed
To make you do the do

[Chorus]
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Superfunkycalifragisexy
In seven measures, I want somebody to scream
Superfunkycalifragisexy
Superfunkycalifragisexy

[Verse 4]
If your body needs water
Keep dancin' 'cause you oughta
Keep the blood flowing down to your feet
Brother Maurice will be 'round in a minute
With a bucket, filled in it, squirrel meat
If you can't beat them, (if you can't beat 'em)
Join 'em (join 'em)
Slammin'!

[Refrain]
This beat is on time
All of the time
So refined
Specially designed
To make you do the do (to make you do the do)
Super

[Outro]
In seven measures I want somebody to...

An American singer-songwriter, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and actor that produced 22 RIAA-platinum albums during his 40-year career, Prince may be known for one of many different things – his turn as “The Kid” in the iconic film/album/8 ½ minute ballad “Purple Rain”, being the writer behind the acclaimed anthem “Kiss,” rivaling Michael Jackson at the pinnacle of his career, being the inspiration behind censorship laws, or being the artist addressed as an unpronounceable symbol throughout the 1990s—but while many know of Prince, most don’t fully understand the impact his legacy left on this world.

Going by many aliases throughout his life, Prince Rogers Nelson was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on June 7, 1958 with his father’s (John L. Nelson) stage name as his own given one. Growing up, Prince suffered from serious epileptic seizures at a very young age, but he had wrote his first composition of many by age seven, and outside of his love for basketball, he wanted music to be his purpose in life. His tumultuous childhood, witnessing alcoholism and abuse, caused him to find refuge in neighbor André Cymone’s home in his teens, where the two competed in local band competitions, leading to Prince’s introduction to Morris Day alongside music with his cousin’s band 94 East, leading him to be courted by record labels and ultimately signed to Warner Bros. Records with complete creative control; at 19, his debut album, For You (1978) was released – Prince played all 19 instruments on the record.

Influenced by the likes of Miles Davis, Rick James, and James Brown, Prince desired to form a music dynasty and after the success of his next albums – the platinum-selling Prince (1979), the sexually-charged Dirty Mind (1980), and politically-motivated Controversy (1981) – he negotiated for the ability to form his own label and manage artists of his own. Prince’s trademark sexual/religious rhetoric within pop-and-dance, funk-rock sound gained him a following, but his opening slates for Rick James and The Rolling Stones were both negatively received and facing bankruptcy, the young artist began to reach for mainstream popularity. Cashing on the drug-influenced doomsday mania of the times, 1982’s 1999 easily achieved that mainstream appeal, landing him on MTV, music charts, and radio stations across the world.
