Function at the Junction
I'm getting ready for the function at the junction
Baby, you'd better come on right now
Because everybody's gonna be there
We got people comin' from everywhere
You got Ling Ting Tong from China
Long Tall Sally from Carolina
We got Double-O-Seven, the private eye
Bringin' all the guys from "I Spy"
Come one, come all, gonna have a ball
Down at the function at the junction
Baby, you'd better come on right now
We serving egg foo yung and barbecue
Chicken dumpling baby and kidney stew
A hiptic fun 'til the break of dawn
We gonna shake a tailfeather
Shoot it's before it run
Put a shotgun on the rooster, and dare him to crow
'Cause if anybody sleepin' they can get on that floor
Tell baby, tell them, if they won't tell 'em
About the function at the junction
Tell 'em that they better come on right now
Tell 'em about that function at the junction
Baby, tell 'em they better come on right now, ow! Ow! Ow!
All the Soul Brothers, Jitterbugs
Hip cats in fancy hats
Pretty girls with pretty smiles
All decked out in the latest styles
Marvin Gay and Guitar Slim
Betty Boop and Oop-Oop-Doop
Mohair Sam from Alabam'
Minnesota Fats from Hobo Flats
Gravitatin' Hip-shakin' cutie pie
From a fascination devastatin' beauty line
They all be gathering here, from far and near
For the Function at the Junction
Tell 'em, they better come on right now
Tell 'em about that function at the junction
Tell 'em that they better come on right now
Tell 'em about that function at the junction
Tell 'em that they better come on right now
Baby, you'd better come on right now
