In a nappy dugout
The lyrics of Funkadelic's song Nappy Dugout present a playful, upbeat invitation for listeners to join the band in some wild and unfettered fun in a "nappy dugout." The phrase "nappy dugout" may be interpreted as a reference to the pubic region of a woman, particularly one with hair in that area, and the lyrics celebrate the joy and pleasure of sexual experience. The repeated refrain "Come play in a nappy dugout" reinforces the invitation for the listener to join in the party and indulge in physical expression.
The song's lyrics also feature calls to action to dance, move, shake, and watch in a celebratory and uninhibited manner. The exclamations of joy and excitement, such as "Oh lord, lord!" and "Hohoho", reinforce the feeling of growing enjoyment and abandon. The song expresses a carefree and sensual attitude toward life and the body, and its repeated refrain serves as an invitation to listeners to let go of their inhibitions and join in the fun.

Oh yeah, 1973 was a very good year for me. 18, lean and mean, getting high with this musical group leading the charge. The trick is, U have to ride this rollercoaster hard and fast, then jump off fast and get serious about life before U get caught up! Easier said than done!
