I'm getting ready for the function at the junction
Brother, you'd better come on right now
Because everybody's gonna be there
Got people comin' from everywhere

We got ling ting tong from china
Long tall sally from carolina
We got 007, the private eye
And he's bringin' all the guys from 'I spy'

We got chicken dumplings and kidney stew
We gonna make big fun till the break of the dawn
I'ma shake your tail feather, shoot it [unverified] run

Tell anybody sleepin', say get out on that floor
