My Dear, you go on with your Bad Ass Self. Those Female Background Vocalist were off the Chain, they Funked, I hope that Parlet is also Recognized, especially with the Track "Cookie Jar," which is my all time Favorite from Parlet.
My granny had a saying "Without humps, There would be no getting over" You pay for what you get And hardly ever get what you paid for Life's full of ups and downs You got to find your own high ground Mother Wit is your connection Use it for your protection Mother Wit is all you get In your live-life You got to dance to it When you do it She'll never tell you How to live your love-life Just a little discretion Was her only suggestion It's not such a mean, old world To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn Oh, I was raised on a farm Way back up in the woods Full of 13 children; never been to school Granny had a plan Mother Wit, she called "Never been to school is no reason to be a fool" To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy And don't buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn Mother Wit is all you got You got to trust your funk Mother Wit is all you got You got to trust your funk Mother Wit is all you got You got to trust your funk If you can't dance through it Don't do it If you can dance and get through to it Do it When reason just don't make no sense You got to use your funk When "use some sense" is not enough You got to use your funk Though, Mother Wit is a kind of nonsense It helps you over the hump If you can't dance to it Don't do it But if you can dance and get through to it Then, do it, dear Can I get away? If you can't dance to it Don't do it But if you can dance and get through to it Then, do it In your live-life Mother Wit is all you get In your love-life (In your love-life) Hey! To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunk And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy (Way back!) And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn If you think you can dance to it Get to it; get to it If you think you can dance and get through to it Then, do it; then, do it If you think you can dance and get through to it Then, do it; do it Oh, do it, dear Way back! To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn Mother Wit is all you get in your live-life You got the dance to it Oh, go on, do it She'll never tell you how to live your love-life Just a little discretion Was her only suggestion Mother Wit It's all you get In your live-long, your live-long, Live-long, live-long, live-long life Way back Mother Wit goes back; hey, hey Through your live-life Hey, to be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky (Come alive; come alive; let's get funky) And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy (Way back!) And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn To be happy-go-funky Come alive and get spunky And you'll never buy Texas from a cowboy And never buy a bridge While you're in Brooklyn Can I go way back? Way back!
Okay im going to be honest. I first heard this song in 2002 when I was 16 years old while I was listening to WGPR 107.5 "The Rhythm" in Detroit, MI. I was so enamored by this song, I called the radio station to find out the title so I could download it off Kazaa and burn it on a CD.
My first concert was November 9,1978 at the Masonic Temple in Detroit. The Brides Of Funkenstien opened for The Funkadelics when they made 1 Nation Under A Groove!!!
