Who Says a Funk Band Can’t Play Rock?! Lyrics

[Hook]
Who says a jazz band can't play dance music?
Who says a rock band can't play funk?
Who says a funk band can't play rock?
Ok. We're gonna play some funk so loud
We're gonna rock and roll the crowd
Just watch them dance, watch them dance

[Verse 1]
We really love to play
We really want to stay here
Won't you take the time
To get the music on your mind
We'll release you from the bind

[Verse 2]
We've been around for such a while
Be kinda hard not to have a style
When time get slower by the mile
We relax and wear a great big smile
You can count my teeth

[Verse 3]
One, two, three, four, five
People think cause we are here
Our jazz ran out the ships won't steer
No more. We picked up on the rhythm here
If you just take a toot and have a beer
We're gonna make it clear
Yes, and when the morning gets here
Jazz and soul
[Hook]

[Verse 4]
We never take a chance
Music is our one romance, yeah
May I have this dance
Give it a chance

[Hook]×2

[Guitar Solo]

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 [?]
