[Intro] / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Gdim/ / / / Gdim/ / / [Verse 1] Yeah I looked at my watch and it said a quarter to five The headlines screamed that I was still alive I couldn’t understand it I thought I died last night Oh I dreamed I’d been in a border town In a little cantina that the boys had found I was desperate to dance Just to dig the local sounds [Bridge 1] When along came a señorita She looked so good that I had to meet her I was ready to approach her with my English charm When her brass knuckled boy-friend grabbed me by the arm / Gdim/ / / [Chorus] And he said grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go Grow some funk of your own We no like to with the gringo fight But there might be a death in Mexico tonight If you can’t grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go Grow some funk of your own Take my advice take the next flight And grow your funk grow your funk at home (*) / Gdim/ / / [Verse 2] Well I looked for support from the rest of my friends For their vanishing trick they get ten out of ten I knelt to pray Just to see if he would comprehend Oh I dreamed I’d been in a border town In a little cantina that the boys had found [Bridge] I was desperate to dance Just to dig the local sounds When along came a señorita She looked so good that I had to meet her I was ready to approach her with my English charm When her brass knuckled boy-friend grabbed me by the arm / Gdim/ / / [Chorus] And he said grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go Grow some funk of your own We no like to with the gringo fight But there might be a death in Mexico tonight If you can’t grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go Grow some funk of your own Take my advice take the next flight And grow your funk grow your funk at home [Outro] I’ll grow some funk Yeah I’ll grow some funk of my own. And he said grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go Grow some funk of your own We no like to with the gringo fight But there might be a death in Mexico tonight If you can’t grow some funk of your own a-mi__-go Grow some funk of your own Take my advice take the next flight And grow your funk grow your funk at home
