This is a secular song, and I’m NOT into astrology, but this is such a jam from the JB team, that I wanted to post it if not too worldly 😁

People Get Up And Drive Your Funky Soul (Remix)

(from the album: Motherlode)

One, two, three, four

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Get up, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

They′re doing it down in Nassau

Drive that funky soul

They’re doing it by the beach, hah

They′re driving that funky soul

New York, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

Let your body pop

And let your feelings flow

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

When I say Sagittarius

Drive that funky soul

When I say Pisces, holler

And drive your funky soul

When I say Gemini, heh

And drive that funky soul

When I say Capricorn, woah

Drive your funky soul

When I say Scorpio, Virgo

Drive your funky soul

If I say Cancer

Can you drive that funky soul?

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

Slaughter, get on up, get yourself together

Drive that funky soul

Leo, get yourself together

And drive your funky soul

Aquarius, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Get up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Fred, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Drivin’, drivin, I need some money

Do you need some money?

Drive your funky soul

The cats on the corner

Drive that funky soul

The girl that’s standing out there

Drive that funky soul

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky

Fred, hit it!

Hit it! Hit it!

In Nassau, in Germany, they say they′re driving that funky soul

In Georgia, they′re driving that funky soul

They’re driving that funky soul in Washington and Baltimore

Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago

St Louis, Houston, I said Dallas, Waco

Next door neighbor, they′re driving that funky soul

Raise up, get yourself together

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul. Drive it!

And I believe they’re driving themselves

Drive that funky soul

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Going to get it, going to get it

Got to get some money and drive that funky soul

Got to get some money, got to get some money

I need a little money, oh yeah

A little bit of money

Fred, I need 1 million, 2 million, 3 million

Brother? (Yeah) Will 1 million be enough? (Better get two)

(But since the man got three, we better get you to three, you understand)

Can we use the three?

Take ’em on home, Fred, take ′em

Get up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

There it is, there it is

There it is

Raise up

Raise up

Raise up

Raise up

Raise up

Raise up

Raise up

Raise on up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

Raise up, get yourself together

And drive that funky soul

You don’t miss nothing you never had

But you miss so much you wish you could get, hah

I guess you can put that together

It takes a man to find a woman

It takes a woman to find what a man used to be

Get up

Get on up

Get yourself together

Drive that funky soul

Everybody needs somebody, drive that funky soul

Everybody needs somebody, drive that funky soul

Get up, get yourself together, drive your funky soul

Get up

Get yourself together

Drive that funky soul

Get up

Get yourself together

Drive that funky soul

Raise up
