People gather 'round

At the Lennox Lounge

To hear the funky sounds

The beat hits so hard

There's no cover charge

You have to feel the groove



CHORUS:

One thing is you've got to be real

If you want to hear the

Funky big band

He who knows it feels it

Got to be real

If you want to hear the

Funky big band

We who knows it feel it



Harlem is the place

Where you'll find the face

Of those who feel the groove

It's not taught to thee

But it's born to we

Aw and I feel the groove



CHORUS



And the band plays

From the big band

And the band plays

From the big band



It's funky

You feel it

It's funky

To be real

It's funky

You feel it

Oh it's funky

To be real



CHORUS



We who know it feel it (4x)
