Funky But Chic - David Johansen

Funky, funky but chic

Funky, funky but chic

Funky, funky but chic

You funky but, funky but, alright, alright, alright

I got a pair of shoes I swear that somebody gave me

My momma thinks I look pretty fruity but in jeans I feel rockin'

I don’t wear nothin' not too fussy or neat

I just want somethin' baby to be able to walk down your street

Hey come on baby, let’s get on down to the boutique

Let’s bring back somethin' that’s a funky but chic, I said now

Funky, funky but chic

Funky, funky but chic

I’ll get down in any neighborhood I swear that my friends will take me

But the people there they all itch and bitch, oh lord

I swear they gonna break me, sure don’t take me

I’ve got to fly just to get downtown I swear where everybody’s crazy

And when I fly on down that street them girls stop acting lazy

I say, I don’t wear nothin' not to flashy or neat

I just want somethin' baby to be able to fly down your street

Hey get on baby, who at the boutique

Let’s bring back somethin' that’s a funky but chic, I said now

Funky, funky but chic

Funky, funky but chic

I got a little car, come on baby let’s get drivin' 'round

I got a '56 Mercedes-Benz I had painted cocoa-brown

I don’t drive nothin' not to flashy or neat

I just want somethin' baby to be able to drive down your street

Hey good news baby, let’s get on down to the boutique

Let’s bring back somethin' that’s a funky but chic I said now

Funky, funky but — oh chic

Funky, funky but — trash heap

Funky, funky but — what chic

You funky but, funky but, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright,

alright

Got a pair of shoes I swear that somebody gave me

Momma thinks I look pretty fruity but in jeans I feel rockin', I’m getting

strong now

I don’t wear nothin' not too fussy or neat

I just want somethin' baby to be able to walk down your street

Hey get out of bed baby, let’s get on down to the boutique

Let’s bring back somethin' that is funky but chic
