Ahh... the Name is Bootsy, Baby Lyrics

We want Bootsy

Can y'all hear that?
Huh?
Can y'all hear that?
Well clap your hands then
Come on clap your hands
Come on clap your hands
Put your hands together
And clap yeah
Now everybody say "Bootsy!"
Bootsy
Bootsy
Bootsy
Bootsy
Bootsy
Bootsy
Bootsy
Bootsy

Wait a minute now
The Mothership Connection
Has landed ladies and gentlemen
And I can see stepping from the space craft birds
Along with P-Funk
A group of young men
Originating out of Cincinnati, Ohio
You see Warner Brothers picked them up
Spreaded them about this
United States country
And right now we gonna
Sock ‘em to ya
Say "Bootsy" again
Everybody come on
Bootsy
Bootsy
Bootsy
Bootsy

Introducing ladies and gentlemen
Bootsy's Rubber Band!

Hey Leroy
There go Bootsy right there
Where I don't see him, where?
Right over there, right there
I wonder if we can ask him a question
I guess so
I'm kinda scared
Oh man come on
Wow man you hear that?
This is live man

Hey Bootsy man, why your face like a star?
Uh, the name is Bootsy, bubba
And the better to funk you my dear

Casper, why we can't see you?
Well, uh, I'm indiscreet ‘cause I lost my sheep
And I does not know where to find them
Hey Bootsy, Bootsy
The eyes, ooh
They like stars too

I say Bootsy, you're a superstar, right?
Uh, twinkle twinkle, bubba
Heh heh, I told you man

Now, can I play?
Can I play with you today?
I'd sure like to play
If you think that it is okay

Take all of me
Why not take all of me?
Bootsy! We want Bootsy
Bootsy! We want Bootsy
Bootsy! We want Bootsy

Uh I'll be a snowball in the summer time
Melt all over you
I ain't never ever seen nobody like this before
All of me
Why not take all of me?
I feel like singing today bubba
Bootsy! Gimme some Bootsy
Bootsy! Gimme some Bootsy

Uh I got Casper on echoplex
Introducing my bass-cast
With a friendly boo

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
