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]
