VERSE 1
A some call me "Mistah Mad Dawg"
An' a drummin' is my game
Don't try to tell me how to lay it down
I'll play my shuffle just the same
Red hot grooves and snappy beats
Funky rhythm always ready
Got everybody up and on their feet
Bangin' out the beat so steady

Ya gon' have to sit down and figure it out
Too many cats have tried to fake it
Then givin' on up - or chickenin' out
I'll never surrender - never give up
CHORUS 1
I'm the Drummer Man - a heh heh
My rhythm got a whole lotta soul
Make ya turn up your radio
Take you where you wanna go

Make you get down an' tap your toes
An' jus' gotta let you know
I'm feelin' better than I... ever felt before
(Drummer Man)
Cuz I'm the Drummer Man - yeah
VERSE 2
Bein' a skin man sounds illustrious
A holdin' court with the queen
Always kept a secret mistress
An' rocked her solid, mean 'n' clean
Buildin' up a busy reputation
An' sleepin' way past noon
Dreamin' up a fresh creation
To elevate the tune

Not everyone can play it
Ya gon' have to sit down and figure it out
Too many cats have tried to fake it
Then givin' on up - or chickenin' out

BRIDGE 2 (24 BARS)
There might be danger
Bad people may come around
So don't talk to no strangers
Cuz they sho' 'nuff a gon' take you down
Get crazy here 'bout midnight
I hadda tell ya jus' so you know
An' if you hear somebody scream jus' sit tight
Ya hear me hollah when it's time to go
If we stay to watch the action
You may never make it back home
I'll have to create some kinda distraction
Throw a rock, a stone or a bone
Funky corner - you'll never fahgit it
Makin' dark street memories
Ya not lost babe - don't sweat it
Try to relax - I'm not ya enemy
Stay close try not to make eye contact
You don't want 'em to feel a connection
Don't over react - no you don't want that
Cuz you're just gonna draw attention
So now you had a taste o' this place
Be glad you don't have to live here
I only brought you down just in case
You ever wanna face your fear...
On the funky corner...
OUTRO
Ha ha ha ha hah
Yea... On the funky corner (funky)
On the funky corner (funky)
Hmmm... (funky) On the funky corner (funky)
On the funk... Funky corner (funky)

You don't belong down here
Cuz it's fun... Funky corner
