Do the Funky Chicken
Get Funky with the Rhythmic Moves of the Funky Chicken Dance
Lyrics
Y'all come on in now
Invitation for people to come inside
Come right on down front
Encouragement to move to the front
I got something I want to show you
Expressing a desire to demonstrate something
Now y'all heard of the Popcorn
Referencing other popular dances
Y'all heard of the Dog
Referencing more dances
You heard about all your other dances
Acknowledging various dance styles
But now there's a brand new dance
Introducing a new dance
That's going around
Stating the popularity of the new dance
I want to show you exactly what I'm talking about
Desire to demonstrate the dance
I'm talking about the funky chicken, y'all ready?
Asking if the audience is ready for the demonstration
You raise the left arm up
Instruction to raise the left arm
And your right arm too
Instruction to raise the right arm
Let me tell you just what to do
Instruction on what to do next
Start both of 'em to flapping
Instruction to move both arms
You start your feet to kicking
Instruction to move feet
That's when you know
Recognition of performing the dance
You doin' the funky chicken
Confirmation of doing the dance
You put both arms up across your face
Instruction to place arms across the face
You knees start wiggling all over the place
Indication of knees moving vigorously
You flap your arms
Instruction to flap arms
And your feet start kicking
Instruction to kick feet
Then you know you doin' the funky chicken
Confirmation of performing the dance
Oh, I'm feeling it now
Expressing excitement and involvement
I feel so unnecessary
Feeling of being overly energetic
This is the kind
Describing the sensation
This is the kind of stuff
Characterizing the feeling
To make you feel like you
Impact on behavior and desires
Want to do something nasty
Expressing a desire for mischievous behavior
Like waste some chicken gravy
Specific example of mischief involving food
On your white shirt
Detailing the act of mischievousness
Right down front here we go y'all
Encouragement to start the dance again
You work both arms and you work both feet
Instruction to move arms and feet
Use a dab of gravy, you right on the beat
Suggesting using gravy in the dance
You flap your arms
Instruction to flap arms
And your feet start kicking
Instruction to kick feet
The you know you doin' the funky chicken
Confirmation of performing the dance
