Elton John - Grow Some Funk of Your Own lyrics

Yeah I looked at my watch and
It said a quarter to five
The headlines screamed that I was still alive
I couldn't understand it
I thought I died last night
Oh, I dreamed I'd been in a border town
In a little cantina that the boys had found
I was desperate to dance just
To dig the local sounds

When along came a señorita
She looked so good that I had to meet her
I was ready to approach her
With my English charm
When her brass knuckled boyfriend grabbed
Me by the arm oh, he was so macho

And he said grow some funk of your own, amigo
Grow some funk of your own
We no like to with the gringo fight
But there might be a death in Mexico tonight
If you can't grow some funk of your own
Amigo grow some funk of your own
Take my advice, take the next flight
And grow your funk, grow your funk at home
I mean, the situation was ridiculous

Well, I looked for support from
The rest of my friends
For their vanishing trick they get
Ten out of ten i knelt to pray just to
See if He would comprehend
Oh, I dreamed I'd been in a border town
In a little cantina that the boys had found
I was desperate to dance just
To dig the local sounds

When along came a señorita
She looked so good that I had to meet her
I was ready to approach her
With my English charm
When her brass knuckled boyfriend grabbed
Me by the arm oh, and it hurt so much

And he said grow some funk of your own, amigo
Grow some funk of your own
We no like to with the gringo fight
But there might be a death in Mexico tonight
If you can't grow some funk of your own
Amigo grow some funk of your own
Take my advice, take the next flight
And grow your funk, grow your funk at home
I mean, the situation was ridiculous
Ya know, I think I really like

I'll grow some funk
Yea, I'll grow some funk of my own
Oh, I'll grow some funk
I'll grow some funk of my own
I'll grow some funk of my own
Of my own of my own
Of my own i'll grow some funk
I'll grow some funk
