What You Waitin' For

(album: Rainbow Connection - 1979)

I feel some funk coming on
I feel some funk coming on strong
Feel some funk coming on

Everybody

I wanna see you
Let me see you
(Stand up)
And raise your hand

I said

I want you to turn up your radio

Why don't you get out on the floor?
Now tell me what you waiting for?
Ready, somebody, get out on the floor
