Parliament - The Landing (of the Holy Mothership) lyrics

We're standing
Well, we're almost standing amidst thousands
Of worshipping P-Funk fans
Waiting for the Holy Mothership
She promised to bring them the P-Funk
Better known as The Bomb
Wait, wait, I think we see the first one here
Let's see if we can get a word from, uh
Star Child ayy, Star Child
What do you have to
Say about tonight's concert?

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys gettin' it

Yeah, Star Child, the long haired sucker
Look, look, here come the whole mob
The Mothership's Brothership
Yeah, carrying Bootsy and the Rubber Band
Yeah, get down, Bootsy

And glory be, the funk's on me

I, I don't believe it

Comin' 'round the mountain when she come

Calling Earth people
Calling all Earth people
Due to your funklessness
You have brought about the second
Coming of Dr funkenstein

Whoa, they say the bigger the
Headache, the bigger the pill, baby
Well, call me The Big Pill
We'd love to funk you, Funkenstein
Your funk is the best
Take my body and give it the
Mind to funk with the rest
Hit me with the one and then
If you like hit me again
We love to Funk-a-stein

We're gonna turn this mutha out
(Give up the funk)

Meanwhile, we're back here on Earth
It's still early in the afternoon but
There's literally thousands and thousands of
Funkateers dying to give up the
Funk to their super-funky heroes

Give up the funk
We're gonna turn this mutha out
(We gotta have that funk)

Let's see if we can get some rap
From some of these kids out here
Uh, why did you come to the concert?

I got to get some more of that
More of that funky stuff

Yeah, and you two cool brothers over there
Why'd y'all come?

Ah, we want the funk

Yeah, they want the funk
Now, it's question time
We're gonna see if we can
Get some of the superheroes
On the phone and let y'all talk to 'em
Anybody got some questions
For the superheroes?

(yeah, me, man, Me, me, Go 'head, kid)
(Um, Bootsa) Ah, the name is Bootsy, baby
(Mr bootchi, um, why you add less jazz?)
All the better to funk you, my dear
(But dig, dig, I got a question for the
Long-Haired Sucker - uh, where
The afterparty at, man?)

Partyin' on the Mothership

(Yo sucker, loan me your spaceship, man
I'll bring it right back, he he he)

Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride

Gagagooga, gagagooga, gagagoogaga

(Loan me your spaceship, man, I'll
Bring it right back, he he he)

Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down sweet chariot stop and let me ride
