Original Dyke And The Blazers version
Yeah, come on now
Yeah, come on, baby
Let me tell you
Now, now
Every town I go in
There's a street, now
The name of the street
Funky funky Broadway
Down on Broadway
There's a nightclub
The name of the nightclub
Broadway nightclub
Down on Broadway
There's a crowd now, hey hey
The name of the crowd
Broadway crowd
Down on Broadway
There's a woman
The name of the woman
Broadway woman
Down on Broadway
There's a bank
The name of the bank
Broadway bank
Down on Broadway
There's a dance everybody doing
The name of the dance
The funky funky Broadway
The funky funky Broadway
The funky funky Broadway
Come on, hit me
Wiggle your legs, baby
And shake your head, now now
Now wiggle your waist, mama
Now shake it, shake it, shake it
You don't know, baby
Doing the funky Broadway
The funky funky Broadway
The dirty filthy Broadway
They don't know
But they don't know
Ah come on, giving 'em hell
You don't know, baby
Doing the funky Broadway

They're laid back
Don't know where's ???
Doing the funky Broadway
But they don't know

They're doing the funky Broadway
But they just know
But they just know
A come on
Show me now one time, baby

And everything in Broadway
