One Nation Under a Groove
So wide you can't get around it
So low you can't get under it
So high you can't get over it
(So high you can't get over it)
This is a chance
This is a chance
To dance your way
Out of your constrictions
(Tell suckah!)
Here's a chance to dance our way
Out of our constrictions
Gonna be freakin'
Up and down
Hang-up alley way
With the groove our only guide
We shall all be moved
Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down on
The one which we believe in (one nation under a groove)
Gonna get in on my good foot, good God (gettin' down just for the funk)
'Bout time I got down one time (one nation and we're on the move)
(Nothin' can stop us now) ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay-ee!
Feet don't fail me now
Givin' you more of what you're funkin' for
Feet don't fail me now
Do you promise to funk?
The whole funk, nothin' but the funk
Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down on the one which we believe in
Here's my chance to dance my way
Out of my constrictions
Yeah...
(You can dance away)
Feet don't fail me now (ha ha)
Here's a chance to dance
Our way out of our constrictions
Gonna be groovin' up and down
Hang up alley way
Groove our only guide
We shall all be moved
Feet don't fail me now (ha ha)
Givin' you more of what we're funkin' for
Feet don't fail me now
Here's my chance to dance my way
Out of my constrictions
Givin' you more of what you're funkin' for (feet don't fail me now)
(Feet don't fail me now)
Do you promise to funk, the whole funk
Nothin' but the funk
One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
One nation and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now
(Nothin' can stop us now)
(One nation)
One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
One nation (one nation) and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now
Do you promise to funk?
Do you promise to funk? Hah
Do you promise to funk? Hah
Do you promise to funk, the whole funk?
One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it

You can't stop us now
Giving you more of what we're looking for
(Giving you more of what you're looking for)
Feet don't fail me now
Gotta keep it on the good foot, good God, ha!
One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
One nation and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now (one time)
One nation under a groove (givin' you more of what you're lookin' for)
Gettin' down just for the funk of it...
