Whooaa, I know

Hey, mon

The third world is on the one

Right on the downbeat

Sending out shockwaves throughout the world

Hey, mon

Sending out shockwaves throughout the world



And if I could feel the thrill

A little bit of this (hey)

A little bit of that

Rock and roll will never die (just a little bit)

(Whooo-oohhh-ohhh) I see my feet covered with snow

I want to take my shoes off

And to Jamaica I'll go



Hey, mon

Have you seen the way people get out of trouble?

They just groove



On the one

Everybody is down on the one, two

(x2)



Mmm, hey just one more time for a little bit

(Whooo-oohhh-ohhh) Politicians are struggling

They're wondering what to do

Meanwhile, on Belle Isle

P.Funk is getting off for you!



I'm from the first world (you see)

I like to groove (I'm from the first world)

Don't won't no problems (don't need no problems)

Set up that groove



I'm from the first world

Sending out shockwaves

Whooa-hahhaaa, hey!



Hey, mon

Why you April Fool me, mon?

The Third World is right on the one

Right there on the downbeat

Hey, mon

I'd rather go dancing

Than have a meeting about your problems

On the one, right there, on the downbeat



Sending out shockwaves

Throughout the world

(x2)



Look at my shoes

They're full of holes

Nobody cares, nobody but my toes

Sing!

I'm a-from the first world

I like to groove (I don't need no problems)

Don't want no problems

Set up that groove

I'm a-from a the first world

Sending out, sending out

Shockwaves, shockwaves, shockwaves, shockwaves



Whooaaa, I know

Hey, mon

The Third World is on the one

Right on the downbeat



Sending out shockwaves

Throughout the world

(x2)



Buh-doo-doo doo-doop

Buh-doo-doo doo-doo

Buh-doo-doo doo-doop

Buh dah dah dah doo-doop



Whooa-ohhh, ohhh, ohhh

You see

I'm from the first world

I like to groove

Don't want no problems

Set up that groove



You see

I'm from the first world (I told you I'm from the first world)

Sending out shockwaves

And as the world turns

I like to groove and move you see

I'm from the first world

I like to groove

Don't want no problems (on these days of our lives)

Set up that groove

I'm from the first world

doing that tonight, JR

You see, if we was in Dallas, you see

He'd say, I'd like to groove

Don't need no problems

And general hospital

I'm from the first world

Sending out shockwaves
