Grow Some Funk Of Your Own - Elton John

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

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 boyfriend grabbed me by the arm

Oh, he was so macho

And he said grow some funk of your own, amigo

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, amigo

Grow some funk of your own

Take my advice, take the next flight

And grow your funk, grow your funk at home

I mean, the situation was ridiculous

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

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 boyfriend grabbed me by the arm

Oh, and it hurt so much

And he said grow some funk of your own, amigo

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, amigo

Grow some funk of your own

Take my advice, take the next flight

And grow your funk, grow your funk at home

I mean, the situation was ridiculous

Ya know, I think I really like…

I’ll grow some funk

Yea, I’ll grow some funk of my own

Oh, I’ll grow some funk

I’ll grow some funk of my own

I’ll grow some funk

Of my own

Of my own

Of my own

Of my own

I’ll grow some funk

I’ll grow some funk
