Who Says A Funk Band Can't Play Rock?!

(album: One Nation Under A Groove - 1978)

Who says a jazz band can't play dance music
Who says a rock band can't play funky
Who says a funk band can't play rock, okay
We're gonna play some funk so loud
We're gonna rock and roll around
Just watch them dance, watch them dance

We really love to play
We really want to stay here
Won't you take the time
Get the music on your mind
We'll release you from the bind, yeah

We've been around for such a while (such a while)
Be kinda hard not to have a style (not have style)
When times get slower by the mile (by a mile)
We relax and wear a great big smile

You can count my teeth
One, two, three
Four, five

People think 'cause we are here
Our jazz ran out, the ship won't steer no more
We picked up on the rhythm here
If you just take a toot and have a beer
We're gonna make it clear, ho ho
Yes, and when the morning gets here
Jazz and soul

Who says a jazz band can't play dance music
Who says a rock band can't play funky
Who says a funk band can't play rock, okay
We're gonna play some funk so loud
We're gonna rock and roll around
Just watch them dance, watch them dance

We never take a chance
Music is our one romance, yeah
May I have this dance
Give it a chance

Who says a jazz band can't play dance music
