Funky Tonight Lyrics

Now i dont want to argue i dont want to fight

and if theres something wrong yes you know im gonna try to make it right

i love you you love me we be one family tonight

so get right over here and lets get down get funky to night

'Cause you are my queen and there aint no doubt about it

and if you want ill tell the world yes you know ill shout it

the way you walk talk move yeah girl get me high as a kite

so get right ove here and lets get down get funky tonight

lets go back to when we first met back in 1999, Appreciate
before you knew i was yours and you mine

and now i turn the lights down low 'n put the steario on
put on our favourite record by Aerosmith and Louie Armstron

take you to our living room dance floor and hold you tight
i guarentee you and me gonnaa get down funky tonight
i guarentee you and me gonna get down funky tonight
i guarentee you and me gonna get down funky tonight

whats your name
lets go back to when we first met back in 1999 Appreciate
before you knew i was yours and you knew you were mine

whats your name
lets go back to when we first met back in 1999 Appreciate
before you knew i was yours and you mine

Funky can also be interpreted as smelly, and that's what I believe this song is about.

I wish I could digitally remove john's voice from every track he sings on. His lyrics and vocal phrasing make me cringe. But he's a goddam wizard with the guitar!!

i think its about having an argument with your partner and focusing on the things that brought you together in the first place.
And having lots of make up sex. Of course

Cover art for Funky Tonight lyrics by John Butler Trio

john said recently it's about going thru the motions, and trying to recapture the spark of when they first met. hence the chorus. something along those lines anyway

couple of fix-ups. "So get right over here let's get down col' funky tonight" and "put on your favourite record by Ella Fitz and Louis Armstrong".

And oh yeah, it's obvious what he's talking about. John's always straight-up with his lyrics.

Sorry, 'our' favourite record... why oh why can we not edit our posts?

Make up sex FTW.

jb's not always straight up about his lyrics. for instance, look at Use To Get High. that song is about the government. not actually getting high.

JB explained in Santa Cruz that he wrote this about a club in Australia where there was an awesome DJ and he was dancing with his girl. gettin' Funky tonight!!
