Lyrics:

People gather round
At the lennox lounge
To hear the funky sounds
The beat hits so hard
Theres no cover charge
You have to feel the groove

Chorus:
One thing is youve got to be real
If you want to hear the
Funky big band
He who knows it feels it
Got to be real
If you want to hear the
Funky big band
We who knows it feel it

Harlem is the place
Where youll find the face
Of those who feel the groove
Its not taught to thee
But its born to we
Aw and I feel the groove

Chorus

And the band plays
From the big band
And the band plays
From the big band

Its funky
You feel it
Its funky
To be real
Its funky
You feel it
Oh its funky
To be real

Chorus

We who know it feel it (4x)
