Текст песни: The Funky Western Civilization + перевод

Come on everybody

Get on your feet

Get with the beat

There’s a brand new dance craze sweeping the nation

And it’s called the Funky Western Civilization

Well there’s a riot in the courthouse

There’s a fire in the street

There’s a sinner bein' trampled

By a thousand pious feet

There’s a baby every minute

Bein' born without a chance

Now don’t that make you want

To jump right up and start to dance?

Let’s do the Funky

The Funky Western Civilization

It’s really spunky

It’s just like summertime vacation

You just grab your partner by the hair

Throw her down and leave her there

They put Jesus on a cross

They put a hole in J.F.K

They put Hitler in the driver’s seat

And looked the other way

Now they’ve got poison in the water

And the whole world in a trance

But just because we’re hypnotized

That don’t mean we can’t dance

We’ve got the Funky

The Funky Western Civilization

So so very spunky

It’s just like summertime vacation

You just drag your partner through the dirt

Put 'em in a world of hurt

Yes you get down

Good God you get funky

You get Western

Own up to it boys and girls

And if you try real hard

Maybe you can even get, you know

Kinda, aw maybe kinda

Civilized

(Here, following, L’Inspiré Poulet Solitaire, your friend Tonio launches into

an obscure monologue about Joan of Arc and Saturday nite. Or is it a

transdimensional soliloquy by Joan herself? Or is it Myel reading a hastily

prepared script? And what does this mean?)

This is the Funky

The Funky Western Civilization

It’s so so very spunky

It’s just like the summertime vacation

All’s you gotta do is find something to keep somewhere

Throw it way up in the air

Never mind the parents

Yes, it’s a Funky, a Funky Western Civilization

And it may seem kind of skunky, you know

But it’s a hit in every nation, all across the universe

That’s because all it’s gotta do is

Grab your partner by the hair

Throw her down and leave her there

I mean what could be similar, you know

And a guitar has

And I, I’ve never heard nothing like this in my life

Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know what to think of it

Good God almighty

Scares me every time I hear it

Scares me every time I think about it

Yes it’s a Funky, a Funky Western Civilization

And it’s oh so very spunky

It’s just like summertime vacation, yeah yeah

Because all it’s gotta do is

Grab your partner by the hair

Throw her down and leave her there
