Function At The Junction

[Chorus 1]
I'm getting ready for the function at the junction
Baby, you'd better come on right now

[Verse 1]
Because everybody's going to be there
We got people coming from everywhere
We got Ling Ting Tong from China
Long Tall Sally from Carolina
We got 007, the private eye
And he's bringing all the guys from "I Spy"

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on, work, come on, we going to have a ball

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
We serving egg foo yung and barbecue
We got chicken dumplings and kidney stew
We're going to make big fun till the break of dawn
Shake a tailfeather shoot, it's going to be run
Hold a shotgun on the rooster, and dare him to crow
Tell anybody sleepin say, get out on that floor

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus 2] [x2]
Tell 'em about the the function at the junction
Tell 'em that you'd better come on right now

[Verse 3]
We got soul brothers, Jitterbugs
Hip cats and crazy hats
Pretty girls with pretty smiles
All decked out in the latest styles

Gravitatin' Hip-shakin' cuties now
Talking about some fascinating devastating beauties now
They all be gathering here, from far and near

[Outro]

Tell 'em 'bout that function at the junction
