Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pumpin' it up
Pumpin' it up
I feel like pumpin' it up
Feel like pumpin' it up
Feel like pumpin' it up
Feel like pumpin' it up
Feel like pumpin' it up
Pump you up
Like hot air in a balloon, pump you up
We are here to pump you up
We are here to pump you up
Me and her chose up to ride on my ten-speed
Much to my dismay damn tire was flat
Country girl reached up on my Subaru
My one tire is flat too
I got a spare, don't got no jack
Ooh
Pump it up
Pump it up
Pump it up
Pump it up
Ooh
Koo-koo-ka-choo
Ooh
Meanwhile I stand here
With my superfly pumped up high
It looks like rain
I got one more stomp in my feet
I got one more thump in my kick
I got one more hump in my back
I got one more clap in my hand
Givin' it up
Goin' down for the funk
Givin' it up
Most of all we need the funk
Comin' up for the funk
Pump-pump pumpin' it up
Pump it up
Pumpin' it up
You can believe
Pump it up
Pumpin' it up
Ooh
Koo-koo-ka-choo
Me and her chose up to ride on my ten-speed
Much to my dismay damn tire was flat
Country girl reached up on my Subaru
My one tire is flat too
I feel like, I feel like pumpin
You can believe me
We are here to pump you up
Pump-pump-pumpin' it up
I feel like pumpin' it up
Feel like pumpin' it up
Ooh
Pumpin' it up
Pumpin' it up
The lyrics of George Clinton&The P'Funk All Stars's song "Pumpin'" are filled with references about pumping things up, both metaphorically and literally. The chorus repeats "Pumpin' it up" several times, indicating that they "are here to pump" the listeners up. The second verse also talks about a flat tire that needs pumping up. The overall theme seems to be about gaining energy and motivation to dance and enjoy life.
The song's first verse talks about "pumpin' it up" like hot air in a balloon. This could be interpreted as building momentum or excitement, just like hot air provides lift to balloons. The group seems to be on a mission to bring this energy to their listeners. The second verse tells a story of two people riding together, but their bikes and cars have flat tires. However, instead of letting this setback stop them, they continue to "pump it up" and push through.
The last verse involves the singer, who appears to be dancing with a pumped-up body. He mentions having one more stomp in his feet, one more thump in his kick, one more hump in his back and clap in his hand, indicating that he's not done dancing yet and wants to pump himself up further. The song ends with repetition of the main lyrics, emphasizing the importance of pumping things up.
