Funky Donkey
Beastie Boys Lyrics

Put this on a zip disk, send it to your lawyer,
Save a copy of this song in a secure location and protect your rights with legal support.

File me under funky
Categorize me as a funky artist with my unique sound and style.

Like sipping lemonade and Arnold Palmers
Enjoying life's simple pleasures and the refreshing combination of lemonade and iced tea.

Big holiday parties like Dolly Partner
Attending extravagant parties with the legendary country music singer Dolly Parton.

Sometime I get Pad Thai as a starter
Occasionally ordering Pad Thai as an appetizer to enjoy the flavors of Thai cuisine.

My other order pad see yes is much darker
Alternatively, my preferred dish, Pad See Ew, has a darker color and richer flavor profile.

Adam Horovitz, I take a shvitz
Introducing myself as Adam Horovitz and making a reference to my Jewish heritage by saying I take sauna baths or shvitz.

I'm known for my glamour and my glitz check it
Acknowledging my reputation for being glamorous and glitzy, and inviting others to observe and verify this fact.

As I bust I really must encrust
As I rap, I must adorn and decorate my microphone with precious diamond fairy dust.

This microphone rust with diamond fairy dust
Adding valuable shine and sparkle to a microphone that is sometimes neglected and corroded.

I don't wear Crocs and I don't wear sandals
Making a statement about my footwear preferences and implying that I favor more stylish options.

The pump don't work 'cause the vandals took the handle
Referencing lyrics from Bob Dylan's song 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' to comment on the state of society and the loss of control or power in certain situations.

Stop singing that song in the wrong key
Asking someone to correct their off-key singing and stay in tune with the music.

"What you looking at?" Funky donkey
Challenging someone who is staring or being confrontational with a playful retort, calling them a funky donkey.

I go woooo like a fire engine
Making a sound effect similar to a siren or alarm, and comparing it to the wailing noise of a fire truck.

Flashing lights to get your attention
Using bright and colorful lights to catch people's eye and focus their attention on me and my performance.

Stop sweating me about the weather
Telling someone to stop worrying about or bothering me with trivial matters like the weather.

Go shave a sheep and knit yourself a sweater
Offering a sarcastic suggestion to someone who is annoying me, telling them to use their free time to shear a sheep and make a woolen garment.

Don't get me heated or y'all in trouble
Warning someone not to provoke me or make me angry, or else there will be consequences.

Bass bins booming make the dancehall bubble
Describing the intense sound and vibration of loud bass music that creates a lively and energetic atmosphere at a dance hall or club.

Letting loose all up in the honkey tonk
Having a wild and uninhibited time at a honky-tonk bar, where country music and dancing are the main attractions.

With the shoopa doopa doo bedonk
Adding a nonsensical vocalization to evoke the playful and improvisational nature of music and lyrics.

Well I was swimming in the water of the ocean
Recounting a story where I was swimming in the vast and limitless ocean, feeling free and uninhibited.

Like Dr. Jeckyl with the magic potion
Comparing myself to the literary character Dr. Jekyll and his transformative elixir, implying that I have unique abilities or powers that I reveal through my music.

We're brand new, never ever the same
Asserting that my art and my identity are always evolving and changing, never static or predictable.

"What's that what's that what's the name?"
Asking for the audience's attention and curiosity about the song and its creators.

"Funky donkey"
Announcing the title of the song and encapsulating its themes of funkiness, surreality, and humor.

Funky donkey
Repeating the title of the song as a catchy and memorable refrain that encourages listeners to remember and engage with the music.
