Lyrics James Brown – People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul

I said they’rra drivin’ that funky soul…
In Georgia… Drivin’ that funky soul…
Drivin’ that funky soul
And you cross your tongue in Baltimore…

Raise up! Get yourself together,
And drive your funky soul.
Raise up! Get yourself together,
And drive that funky soul.

Saxophone solo
Trumpet solo
Saxophone solo

And I believe
They’rra drivin’ their self…
With that funky soul.

In Houston, Texas,
They’rra gettin’ their self together’
With the funky soul.

In Mobile, Alabama,
They gettin’ that funky soul.

Raise up! Get yourself together,

Los Angeles-raise up-get yourself together,
And drive that funky soul.
Birmingham-raise up get yourself together,
And drive that funky soul.

On the Island Mama
Get yourself together,
Drive that funky soul.

Raise up, get yourself together,
And drive that funky soul.

I’m goin’ to get it…
I’m goin’ to get it…

Gotta’ get some money…
And drive that funky soul.

Gotta’ get some money…
Gotta’ get some money…
I need a’ lil’ bit a’ money…

Oh yeah!
I need a’ lil’ bit a’ money…

Fred!
I need a’ one million…
Two million…
Three million…

Brotha!
(Yea)
So what about it?
Will one million be enough?
(Better get two)
Well since my man got three,
Well man you better get three.
You understand… can I use the three?

Take ’em on home Fred.
Take ’em!

Get up get yourself together,
And drive that funky soul.

Woo!
That is…
That is…

That is…
What is that?
Get up…
Raise up!
Raise up!
Raise up!
Woo!
Raise up!
Raise up!
Raise-

Raise on up,
Get yourself together
Drive that funky soul

Raise up!
Get yourself together,
And drive that funky soul.

You don’t miss nuthin’ you never had,
But you miss so much you wish you could get, ha!
I guess you can out that together.

It takes a man to find a woman
And takes a woman to find what a man used to be

Get up!

Get on up,
Get yourself together
Drive that funky soul.

Everybody
Knows somebody
Who can drive that funky soul?

Everybody
Knows somebody
Who can drive that funky soul?

Get up!
Get yourself together,
And drive your funky soul.

Raise up!
Get yourself together,
And drive that funky soul.

Raise up!
Get yourself together,
And drive that funky soul.

Raise up!

Since we had it groovin’
You know
