[Spoken Intro]
Turn it up
[Refrain]
You need to, you need to
You need to lay it down
You need to, you need to
You need to lay it down
[Chorus]
You need to lay it down
And let me show you how
We do this thing
Up in funky town
From the heart of Minnesota
Here come the Purple Yoda
Guaranteed to bring the dirty new sound
Come on, now
[Refrain]
You need to, you need to
(What, What, What)
You need to lay it down
(What, What, What)
You need to, you need to
(What, What, What)
You need to lay it down
[Verse 1]
You need to shut it up
Your cup ain't full enough
Let me show you what I learned
From laying in the cut
You need a six string
And let that sucker ring
The holy funking roll
Let it get the people up
[Refrain]
(What, What, What)
You need to, you need to
(Get up)
You need to lay it down
(Get up)
You need to, you need to
(Stay Down)
You need to lay it down
[Bridge]
To say this name borders on blasphemy
Everybody wants to be me
If your girlfriend didn't have the surgery
Maybe she could see what I see
[Refrain]
You need to, you need to
You need to lay it down
You need to, you need to
You need to lay it down
[Chorus]
You need to lay it down
And let me show you how
We do this thing
Up in funky town
From the heart of Minnesota
Here come the Purple Yoda
Guaranteed to bring the dirty new sound
Come on, now
[Verse 2]
Yours ain't really the grove we dance to
We need something more funky to move to
Y'all know what I'm talking 'bout
That purple bounce, bounce
Rio de Janeiro
Euro and and soon Amero
This dirty little groove for you
Let's do it now, come on, boo
[Ad lib]
Bounce, bounce
Come on, now, come on, now
[Chorus]
You need to lay it down
And let me show you how
We do this thing
Up in funky town
From the heart of Minnesota
Here come the Purple Yoda
Guaranteed to bring the dirty new sound
Come on, now
Let's go
Turn it up
[Refrain]
You need to, you need to
You need to lay it down
You need to, you need to
You need to lay it down
[Chorus]
You need to lay it down
And let me show you how
We do this thing
Up in funky town
From the heart of Minnesota
Here come the Purple Yoda
Guaranteed to bring the dirty new sound
Come on, now
[Refrain]
You need to, you need to
(What, What, What)
You need to lay it down
(What, What, What)
You need to, you need to
(What, What, What)
You need to lay it down

You need to shut it up
Your cup ain't full enough
Let me show you what I learned

You need to, you need to
