Well, it’s about that time that we start this thing

So nasty that it’s driving me nuts

Easy, sleazy

[Verse 3: Marky Mark, Donnie Wahlberg]
Yo Marky Mark, why don’t you give a shoutout to the fellas?
You’re taking all their girlies and they’re starting to get jealous
That’s cause all night long
You’ve been sitting around, doing nothing
So get off your butts and stop frontin’
You’re acting like a wallflower, what a crime it is
Come here, boy, let me show you what time it is
Fellas, this is your chance to find romance
So stop sitting around and just dance
Feel the beat, move and get loose
See a fly cutie and seduce
Don’t be shy, guy, you gotta try
Spot that honey, now look in her the eye
Now slide on in for the kill
Stop sweating, man you gots to chill
Grab a girl by the hand, you know what to do
Get funky while the Funky Bunch funks you

[Interlude]
(It’s bout time I funk you, baby)
Ah, yeah
You wanna funk, I gave it to you, baby
Come on
(It’s bout time I funk you, baby)
Yo, we’re gonna wind up one more time
Check it out

[Hook]
Bout time I funk you, baby
(I’m gonna make it real funky for you)
(I’m gonna make it real-)
Bout time I funk you, baby
(I’m gonna make it real funky for you)

[Outro: Marky Mark, Donnie Wahlberg]
Everybody get funky
(Just give me the funk)
Just give me the funk, now, yeah
(To the funk you up)
I’m gonna funky, funk you up, yeah
(Just give me the funk)
(To the funk you up
Just give me the funk)
Just give me the funk, now
(To the funk you up
Just give me the funk)
