Funkadelic - Take Your Dead Ass Home Lyrics






(What about the woodpecker thing?)
Yeah, they call me the kid
Sexy man
But I know nothing about the great big H
I'd watch that football game while the hornies occupied my day
I never peeped to where she was coming from
When she'd say, "Though you're here, I'm all alone"
Then she made it perfectly clear
With some inspiring words in a song, dig:

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home (now light my fire, baby!)
If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home (a-flick-a my Bic, even!)
If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home (I'd love to play in your tidy bowl)
Ha, ha whoo-eee!

There once was a man from Peru
Who went to sleep in his canoe
He was dreaming of Venus
And took out his penis
And woke up with a handfull of goo
Put your foot on the rock!
OK bye!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, aiii! [x2]

There once was some freaks from L.A. (who)
Who came to New York to play
They was busted by the pussy posse
And the prosecutor popped them in the pen
Put your foot on the rock
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, aiii!

Well, flick-a my Bic, baby!

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
[x5]
Well, light my fire baby, flick-a my Bic
I'll come if you call

There once was a man from Peru
Who went to sleep in his canoe (say somethin' nasty!)
He was dreaming of Fifi
And took out his peepee
And woke up with a handfull of goo
Put your foot on the rock!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, oh!

There once was some freaks from L.A. (and what'd they do?)
Who came to New York to play (yeah?)
They was busted by the pussy posse (pussy who?)
And the prosecutor popped them in the pen

There once was some freaks from L.A.
Who came to New York to play (say somethin' nasty)
They was busted by the pussy posse
And the prosecutor popped them in the pen

Get off your ass and jam!
Oh they call me the kid
Let's get it on, y'all

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home (come on baby!)

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
[x4]

It's only rock 'n' roll

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
[x5]

Now, what did you say?

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
[x6]

(Turn the drums up a little for me... yeah!)
(We're gonna do it one more time, and I want everybody)
(Y'all ready?)
(Are you ready? I'm ready?)
(Hit it!)

If you ain't gonna get it on
Take your dead ass home
[x15]
(Come here, ladies. Move in close!)

    Man it's 2019 I'm 61 thank you LORD!! But I had all of their albums in the 70's this cut right I can remember where I was, how hot I was outside, what I was wearing everything the 70, and 80's was the shit. Eastside in Detroit
    Rip for All my homies
    You are not forgotten peace 😎 niggas 76 the big KE. Love you always TAM.C.

  4. M.... P....

    You had to here this live in 77 at the Inglewood forum George had everybody stomping at the same time off the chain..so much black unity before the CIA brought crack in are community and created hell on Earth for Judah..

  5. P.... N....

    Hip Hop ain't got shit on Funk. Not a goddamn thing. P-FUNK!!!!!!!

  6. O.... G....

    Get off your azz & jam

  7. I.... J....

    My shit

  8. M.... W....

    My dad use to play this album all the time.....I've been meaning to ask him why he'd get mad at me for listening NWA, TOO SHORT, during the late 80's and early 90's when he had me listening to this at 4 and 5 years old lol

  9. D.... 1....

    the music sounded as cartoonish & funky as the album covers looked...

  10. R.... G....

    Mike Judge Tour Bus?

  11. D.... G....

    At 1st I thought it was if U ain't gonna get along take yo Dead ass home. But it's If U ain't gonna get it on. But nowadays we can actually say "If U ain't gonna get along take yo Dead ass home!" Cause people are hating each other and I know George Clinton ain't having that. Keep the Funk Alive!

  12. T.... T....

    In the Knoxville section of Pittsburgh..The "Y" would have these Parties...I STILL remember Jammin' to this !!!

  13. F.... ....

    To the 47 people who thumbed this jam down, take your dead ass home!!

  14. d.... m....

    blazin'

  15. J.... S....

    This is a HARDCRE JOLLIES song, not a tales of kidd funkadelic song. Songs on this album should have been on that one, songs on that one should have been on this one.

  16. J.... S....

    The funny thing here is the songs on TALES OF KIDD FUNKADELIC should have been on the HARDCORE JOLLIES album, its supposed to be mike hamptons guitar on this album not the Hardcore jollies album.

  17. E.... c....

    Now y'all see where Prince got his sound. He also used James browns' style too.

    E.... c....

    Very true brotha...Prince would actually have the revolution play james browns body heat to loosen them up before a show...

  18. G.... ....

    Get off your ass and jam!!

  19. J.... S....

    I think its a shame that with all the comments on here nobody gives any props to the Girls on this cut. Well let me be the first...THESE GIRLS WERE AWSOME ON THIS SONG! The verses they sang was only ment for a females vocals ..RIP DEBBIE WRIGHT

    J.... S....

    hell yeah man..i love the female vocal choir (or whatever the term is) in all parliament and funkadelics music.. they were an important part of the group.

  20. D.... P....

    Hell yeah..invented by James brown and turned the fuck out by p-funk

  21. G.... B....

    IF YOU A BABYLON TAKE YO DEAD ASS HOME

  22. f.... 4....

    ass dismissed

  23. J.... B....

    classic funk on the one

  24. M.... R....

    DIS WHAT ISIS IS TRYING TO TELL AMERICA.

  25. K.... P....

    OK so this is where Too Short sampled this from for his song"Hoes"

    K.... P....

    All they do is Sample nowadays.These old Artists spent Hours and Days in the Studio to perfect songs like this.I wish we would go back to making Music.

  26. F.... H....

    I had this on 8 track who out there remember 8 track s

    F.... H....

    Album, 8-track, and cd. Bless my older brother Stanley, now deceased, for making his baby sister aware of the funk even before I could understand; Let us all be funky together.

    F.... H....

    I still have my 8-Tracks and my 8-Track Player

  27. A.... W....

    Those 22 who thumbed this jam down - should take the advice of this song.

  31. k.... i....

    Say something nasty!

  32. J.... M....

    da funk mob!

  33. K.... x....

    In DC back in 76, this was the PARTY jam, in other words, the song you HAD to play at your party! Come to think of it, they had a lot of those! The first one I remember was "Loose Booty". "Cosmic Slop" used to turn the party out! So did "Red Hot Mama" and "Standing on the Verge" and "Up for the Down Stroke" and that was before we knew Funkadelic and Parliament were the same group! I guess that was only in DC, I've met a lot of people from elsewhere who don't know the early stuff. Hell, I used to think everybody listened to the same thing and that everybody listened to P-Funk.

    K.... x....

    KIDSGOT xWall NYC too. Brooklyn.

    K.... x....

    some folks were on the LATE SHOW when it came 2 FUNKADELIC i was infected early. no cure im good though.

  34. O.... H....

    When I was small, I thought they said "'...take your fat ass home...'".

    O.... H....

    You could add that one when we used to poke at someone at junior high school. Lol! I was younger at the time. That sounds like Johnnie Guitar Watson in the
    background.

  35. B.... M....

    f#*k Beethoven give me some Bernie Worrell!

    B.... M....

    Beethoven can take his dead ass home

  36. T.... W....

  39. T.... S....

    One of p funk all time best

  40. m.... ....

    I have been a member of the Promentalshitbackwashphycosisenema Squad ever since I Heard track 9 of America eats it Young,, the title song. Since then I've seen the brain of the Maggot, and I knew I had to rise above it all or drown in my own shit. I understood it was my Good Thoughts and Bad Thoughts that kept me from Freeing My Mind; Once I got Up for the Down Stroke My Ass Followed, I learned to Swim I no longer hated Water. I was Comin' Round the Mountain and Everything was on the One. I Realized how we could be One Nation Under a Groove Cause Uncle Jam Wanted me to Funk with Him. I was an Undisco Kidd, Standing On the Verge of getting it on, so I laid my Hand on the Radio cause Funk Not only Moves It can Remove. Even though the Darkness tried to return I used my Flashlight to take it to the stage. Once I peeked where she was Comin' from, I jumped into her tidy bowl. Red Hot Mama grabbed me and said get off your ass and Jam so hold on cause we were Gonna Tear the Roof of this Mother Sucker. As she turned over to sleep I jumped up in excitement realizing I was no-longer Devoid of FUNK. I was an ATOMIC DOG, I CAN'T HELP IT I HAVE TO CHASE THE CAT!

    m.... ....

    +masonfssr P-SQUAD MASTER!! We're not worthy!!

    m.... ....

  47. R.... F....

    P-Funk example of RAP before "King Tim III"

    Robert Ginsburg yes sir I tell everyone Kim Tim the 3 Rd came out before rappers delight

  48. W.... ....

    W.... ....

    WashingtonBeUpInThis Louder!!!

  49. J.... R....

    You would have to be high to come up with some of these lyrics....lol Love me some funk!

    J.... R....

    that's one way to look at it but you don't have to be high to see the absurd, it only takes a little creativity and a belief in challenging conventions to be whacky. That is truly why i believe parliament-funkadelic have lived on so long with such a legacy of influence on modern music

  50. a.... ....

    Words to live by....Favorite quotation "I'd love to play in your tidy bowl".

  51. A.... ....

  59. R.... F....

    Maybe the vocals volume could be less high...a one step of "perfection".

  60. L.... P....

    I was in grade school, had no business listening to or for that matter saying"if u aint gon get it on,take ur dead ass home" boy if my mother knew...what i was listening to after she took the James Cleveland record off the stereo and left and I put the P-Funk on....Damn those were the days...Get off yo ass and JAM !!!!!
