Parliament - Flash Light Lyrics






Now, I lay me down to sleep
Ooh, I just can't find a beat
Flash light (oh, I will never dance!)
Flash light
Flash light
Flash light

Ha da da dee da hada hada da da

Oh, it's no use

Flash light
Red light
Neon light
Ooh, stop light

Now I lay me down to sleep
I guess I'll go count the sheep
Oh, but I will never dance

(Oh, don't make me do it)
(Dance, sucker! ooh ha ha!)
(Oww! Get him!)

Most of all he needs the funk (shine it)
Help him find the funk (ha, funk it!)
Most of all he needs the funk
Help him find the funk (get him)
Most of all he needs the funk (I know we can get him)
Help him find the funk (ho!)
Most of all he needs the funk (ha, don't!)
Help him find the funk (I know you will! Dance, sucker!)
Most of all he needs the funk (shine the spotlight on him!)
Help him find the funk (oh funk me!)

Ha da da dee da hada hada da da (dance, Nose! You know you on my funk street?)
Oh, funk me
Ha da da dee da hada hada da da (get on down, Nose! I like it! Dance, then!)

Flash light
Flash light (oh ho ho!)
Spot light
Neon light (neon light)
Street light (street light)

Oh ho, ha ha

Everybody's got a little light under the sun

Shinin' on the funk
Shinin' on the funk

Most of all he need the funk
Help him find the funk

Most of all he need the funk (ha da da dee da hada hada da da)
Help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk (ha da da dee da hada hada da da)
Help him find the funk
Most of all he need the funk (ha da da dee da hada hada da da)
Help him find the funk

Ha da da dee da hada hada da da
Oh
Flash light (flash light, flash light)
Flash light (flash light, flash light)
Flash light (oh, flash light)
Flash light (oh, flash light)
Spot light (spot light)
Neon light (ooh, neon light)
Flash light (ooh, flash light ho!)
Stop light (stop light)

Now I lay me down to sleep
I guess I'll go count the sheep
Ha da da dee da hada hada da da (oh)
Shake your funk (ha da da dee da hada hada da da)
Shake your funk (ha da da dee da hada hada da da)
Shake your rump (ha da da dee da hada hada da da) (ho!)
I think I found the funk

Flash light (flash light)
Day light (day light)
Spot light (spot light)
Red light (Oh, hoo, red light!)

Everybody's got a little light under the sun

Ha da da dee da hada hada da da...

Everybody's got a little light under the sun
Under the sun...
