Funky But Chic Lyrics

David Johansen Funky But Chic

Funky, funky but chic
Funky, funky but chic
Funky, funky but chic
You funky but, funky but, alright, alright, alright

I got a pair of shoes I swear that somebody gave me
My momma thinks I look pretty fruity but in jeans I feel rockin’
I don't wear nothin’ not too fussy or neat
I just want somethin’ baby to be able to walk down your street
Hey come on baby, let's get on down to the boutique
Let's bring back somethin’ that's a funky but chic, I said now

Funky, funky but chic
Funky, funky but chic

I'll get down in any neighborhood I swear that my friends will take me
But the people there they all itch and bitch, oh lord
I swear they gonna break me, sure don't take me
I've got to fly just to get downtown I swear where everybody's crazy
And when I fly on down that street them girls stop acting lazy
I say, I don't wear nothin’ not to flashy or neat
I just want somethin’ baby to be able to fly down your street
Hey get on baby, who at the boutique
Let's bring back somethin’ that's a funky but chic, I said now

Funky, funky but chic
Funky, funky but chic

I got a little car, come on baby let's get drivin’ 'round
I got a '56 Mercedes-Benz I had painted cocoa-brown
I don't drive nothin’ not to flashy or neat
I just want somethin’ baby to be able to drive down your street
Hey good news baby, let's get on down to the boutique
Let's bring back somethin’ that's a funky but chic I said now

Funky, funky but - oh chic
Funky, funky but - trash heap
Funky, funky but - what chic
You funky but, funky but, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Got a pair of shoes I swear that somebody gave me
Momma thinks I look pretty fruity but in jeans I feel rockin’, I'm getting strong now
I don't wear nothin’ not too fussy or neat
I just want somethin’ baby to be able to walk down your street
Hey get out of bed baby, let's get on down to the boutique
Let's bring back somethin’ that is funky but chic
