Funkytown
You're welcome to the jungle
You have friends in Kokomo
If you hear London calling you
Then that's where you should go
But never go down to Funkytown
Never go down to Funkytown
Oh no!
There ain't no mountain high enough
So keep running up that hill
Or look under the boardwalk, baby
In Margaritaville
That's fine!
But never go down to Funkytown
The funk ran out and the town burned down
So stay the hell out of Funkytown for me
You must never go down to Funkytown, you see
You see!
If you wanna dance I don't care
You can dance almost anywhere
In the summer time
In the air tonight
Or in paradise
By the dashboard light
But never go down to Funkytown
I think it's some kind of burial ground
Stay the hell out of Funkytown
Oh no!
People keep going to Funkytown
And leaving me behind
I get the sweats imagining
The awful things they find
People keep going to Funkytown
And never coming back
I miss my friends and family
And now you're all I have
So never go down to Funkytown
You'll disappear and you'll never be found
So stay the hell out of Funkytown for me
For me (for me)
Never go down to Funkytown
There's something dangerous lurking around
So stay the fuck out of Funkytown for me
For me
For me
You must never go down to Funkytown, you see
You have friends in Kokomo
If you hear London calling you
Then that's where you should go
But never go down to Funkytown
Never go down to Funkytown
Oh no!
There ain't no mountain high enough
So keep running up that hill
Or look under the boardwalk, baby
In Margaritaville
That's fine!
But never go down to Funkytown
The funk ran out and the town burned down
So stay the hell out of Funkytown for me
You must never go down to Funkytown, you see
You see!
If you wanna dance I don't care
You can dance almost anywhere
In the summer time
In the air tonight
Or in paradise
By the dashboard light
But never go down to Funkytown
I think it's some kind of burial ground
Stay the hell out of Funkytown
Oh no!
People keep going to Funkytown
And leaving me behind
I get the sweats imagining
The awful things they find
People keep going to Funkytown
And never coming back
I miss my friends and family
And now you're all I have
So never go down to Funkytown
You'll disappear and you'll never be found
So stay the hell out of Funkytown for me
For me (for me)
Never go down to Funkytown
There's something dangerous lurking around
So stay the fuck out of Funkytown for me
For me
For me
You must never go down to Funkytown, you see
