Just Funnin' - Mtume

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, does your garden grow?

Mother Hubbard’s empty cupboard all the children know

Take a recess from the process of these tension times

And find a space all can trace to a nursery rhyme

We’re just funnin'

Just funnin'

Just funnin' (keep it right there, one more time)

Just funnin'

As children, people, all is fun, nothing there to fear

But once grown we’re afraid, all is just too real

I wonder how it would be to mix the two

As grown-up children, we could still play hooky too

Here we go now!

Talk to me, talk to me, one more time

Play for me, makes me wanna sing y’all

Play for me, let that music ring (one more!)

Play for me, makes me wanna sing y’all

Play for me, let that music ring (give it up!)

Funnin', funnin' (cha!!!)

It’s always the simple things that take you down

That’s why we’ve come to bring this happy sound

So clap your hands, stomp your feet, this is what you do

Let this humpin' groove we laid get through to you

A good vibe!

Just funnin' (it's good!)

Just funnin'

Just funnin'

Just funnin'

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, does your garden grow?

Mother Hubbard’s empty cupboard all the children know

Cha!

(Don't look at me in that toddler voice!)

Here we go now, here we go now

Cha!

Sing, y’all

Play for me, let that music ring

Play for me, makes me wanna sing y’all

Play for me, let that music ring (keep it comin'!)

Play for me, makes me wanna sing y’all

Lay with me, two can turn to three

Well alright!

(cha!)

Keep it comin'… well alright!

Sing, y’all

Play for me, let that music ring

Play for me, makes me wanna sing y’all

Play for me, let that music ring

Scream!

(a-ha!) Scream, just scream!

Yeah… (smokin'!) I’m screaming… (oh yes, oh yes)

Oh, light’s on… that was fun
