Lyrics

Funky Baby Down in Ivory Town
by John Comerford

(Verse)
There’s a lively little lady standin’ out from the rest, she wears a yellow plastic flower and a blue silken dress
She does a special kind of rhythm in the evening when the sun goes down
She gives me all kinds of love, Funky Baby Down In Ivory Town

(Verse)
She’s the peaches in my cream, the bourbon in my jug, she don’t cook she don’t sew but she can kiss and hug
She’s a schoolboy’s dream, a queen and she don’t need no crown
She gives me just what I need, Funky Baby Down In Ivory Town

(Chorus)
Ready, I’m ready, just to hear her engine whine
Steady, take it steady, though any minute I could lose what I got left of my mind

(Verse)
When she takes me in her arms it puts me out of control, she tears me into little pieces then makes me whole
She’s a princess in a fairy tale, a charmer of such great renown
She gives me just what I crave, Funky Baby Down In Ivory Town

(Chorus)
Ready, I’m ready, just to hear her engine whine
Steady, take it steady, though I’m about to lose what little I got left of my mind

(Verse)
I can feel my ears burn and what they say I expect is that I’m crazy for my baby and it’s close to correct
She’s the key in my ignition, she lifts me right up off the ground
She puts the boogie in my woogie, Funky Baby Down In Ivory Town
She puts the ungle in my jungle, Funky Baby Down In Ivory Town
She puts the utter in my putter, Funky Baby Down In Ivory Town
She puts the all in my cholester, Funky Baby Down In Ivory Town
