[Verse 1] Hit the floor when the bass line drops low Slap it back, let the pocket overflow Horns stab sharp like a lightning strike Wah-wah guitar got me feeling right Sweat drips down but I can't stop moving The rhythm's got a grip and it keeps on proving Polyester suits and platform shoes Once the funk takes hold, you can't refuse [Pre-Chorus ] Feel it in your hips, feel it in your spine Syncopation pulling like a fishing line One, two, three—hit the upbeat snap Ain't no turning back once you're caught in the trap [Chorus ] Funk fever, funk fever Got me shaking like a true believer Funk fever, funk fever Turn it up, we don't need a breather Clap your hands, stomp your feet Lose yourself in the funky beat Funk fever, funk fever Once it hits, you're a true believer [Verse 2] Drummer's in the pocket, tight as a lock Clavinet chirping round the tick of the clock Call and response from the back to the front Everybody knows what the people want Gold chains swinging in the strobe light glow Groove so heavy that it shakes the floor below No inhibitions, just the body and soul When the funk takes over, you lose control [Pre-Chorus ] Feel it in your hips, feel it in your spine Syncopation pulling like a fishing line One, two, three—hit the upbeat snap Ain't no turning back once you're caught in the trap [Chorus ] Funk fever, funk fever Got me shaking like a true believer Funk fever, funk fever Turn it up, we don't need a breather Clap your hands, stomp your feet Lose yourself in the funky beat Funk fever, funk fever Once it hits, you're a true believer [Bridge ] Break it down now Just the bass and the kick Let it breathe, let it simmer Feel the magic in the flick Horns come creeping back in slow Building, building, here we go Louder, louder, let it rise Funk explosion in your eyes [Chorus ] Funk fever, funk fever Got me shaking like a true believer Funk fever, funk fever Turn it up, we don't need a breather Clap your hands, stomp your feet Lose yourself in the funky beat Funk fever, funk fever Once it hits, you're a true believer [Outro ] Keep it grooving, don't let it die Funk forever, riding high One more time for the funk parade Let the groove never fade Funk fever Funk fever Yeah
