Fire It Up - Rick James

We want Rick to funk us up

We want Rick to funk us up

Horns, blow!

Hey

Yeah, yeah

Hey

Sing!

Hey everyone, tonight we’re gonna have fun

Yeah, what you want us to do with the funk?

Fire it up

Hey everyone, tonight we’re gonna have fun

Hey, what do you want us to do with the funk?

Fire it up

If funky music makes you groove

And you just can’t wait to move

And getting off is what you’ve come here for

Then there’s no need to hesitate

'Cause you know I hate to wait

I’ll funk you 'til you roll on out the door

So wave the funk sign in the air

And show me that you care

You’ve been sitting on your booty much too long

We’ll funk you, but don’t go nowhere

If you say it’s fun

Then fire up 'cause the show has just begun

Sing!

Hey everyone, tonight we’re gonna have fun

What you want us to do with the funk?

Fire it up

Sing

Hey everyone, tonight we’re gonna have fun

Yeah yeah, what you want us to do with the funk?

Fire it up

Blow!

Hey

Yeah, blow

Hey

Now don’t just sit there in your chairs

Actin' like L-Seven squares

Freak on out, that’s what this song’s about

Funk is for the young and old

I know you have been told

Don’t ever get too hip to sing and shout now

I haven’t come to bring you down

Or to turn your head around

Or to tell you what you should or should not do

Funk was made to get you high

That’s no alibi

Do what you want, it’s all left up to you

Yeah

Hey everyone, tonight we’re gonna have fun

Well, what you want us to do with the funk?

Fire it up

Sing!

Hey everyone, tonight we’re gonna have fun

Yeah, what you want us to do with the funk?

Fire it up

Blow!

People get up and dance to the music

People get up, people get up, people get up

Yo… ho!

People get up and dance to the music

People get up, people get up, people get up

Ho!

Yo… ho!

Hey

Yeah

Hey

Yeah

What you want us to do with the funk?

Fire it up

What you want us to do with the funk?

Fire it up

Say fire it up

Fire it up

Say fire it up

Fire it up

Say fire it up

Fire it up

Ho!

Fire it up!
