Gone Funky
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics

She's been playin' them low life honky tonks for thirty years in Texas.
For the last 30 years, she has been performing in low-class honky tonk bars in Texas.

She's sick and tired of all them Reba songs they keep requestin'.

She's about to lose her voice, her hair's fallin' out and ain't nobody clappin'.

So she think's she'll shape her head, buy a boom box and just turn to rappin'.
She's decided to shave her head, start rapping and ditch the country scene.

She can't keep up, with them country healthers,
She can't keep pace with the competition in the country scene.

Gonna learn to shake her boobies, just like Salt N' Peppa.
She will learn to dance and shake her breasts like Salt N' Peppa.

She done gone funky, a brand new tattoo.
She's gone funky with a new tattoo on her body.

She done gone funky, a big nose ring too.

She done gone funky, her favouite rap song's 'Shoop'.

She done gone funky, Hah, you go girl!
She's gone funky and we're happy for her!

It seemed like dag-blammed week, then some new hat act bumped him off the Opry.

He had to sell his bus, his house, his cows: ain't had a hit since the sixties.

He saw Johnny Cash on MTV, bought a new new toupee, said: 'That's the place for me.'

He done gone funky, too ahead for his boots.
He's gone funky in a way that isn't fitting for his typical style.

He done gone funky, burned his cowboy boots.
He's gone funky and decided to get rid of his prized cowboy boots.

He done gone funky, wearin' platform shoes.

Oh, Suki.
This is just an expression of silliness, unrelated to the rest of the song.

Oh well, he moved up to Nashville, had big dreams of being a songwriter.

Ha ha, 'bout the only things he's written down lately are some orders down at Brown's diner.

If everybody's gone country, like Ali Jackson says,
As the saying goes, 'If everyone else is going country,'

Gonna move to Los Angeles and buy him a drum machine.

He done gone funky, hangin' out with old Sloop.

Doggy Dog, sippin' on gin and juice

He done gone funky, do wets for two live crew.
He's gone down the deep end and is now performing background vocals for Two Live Crew.

He done gone funky, Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, funky.
He's gone funky and he's loving it!

She's gone funky, too!
