Function At The Junction - Shorty Long

Function At The Junction - Shorty Long
Written by：Frederick Long/Eddie Holland
I'm getting ready for the function at the junction
Baby you'd better come on right now
Because everybody's gonna be there
We got people comin' from everywhere
We got Ling Ting Tong from China
Long Tall Sally from Carolina
We got 007 the private eye
He's bringin' all the guys from I Spy
Come one come all
We gonna have a ball
Down at the function at the junction
And baby you'd better come on right now
We serving egg foo yung and barbecue
Having chicken dumplings and kidney stew
Having heap big fun till the break of dawn
Gonna shake a tailfeather shoot
It's gonna be a run
Hold a shotgun on the rooster
And dare him to crow
How could anybody sleep when they could get out on the floor
Tell him tell them tell one and tell 'em all
Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction
Tell 'em that they'd better come on right now
Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction
Baby
Tell 'em that they'd better come on right now
Oh the soul brothers
Jitterbugs
Hip cats and fancy hats and
Pretty girls with pretty smiles
All decked out in the latest styles
Farmer jim and guitar slim and
Betty boop and ooo boop e doop
Mohair Sam from Alabam
And Minnesota fats from hobo flats
Breath takin' hip shakin' give it now
Talkin' 'bout some fascinatin' demonstratin'
Live now
They all be gathering here
From far and near
For the function at the Junction
And brother you'd better come on right now
Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction
Sister you'd better come on right now
Talkin' 'bout a function at the junction
Everybody you'd better come on right now
We gonna never seen a bird
Say could on all
We gonna never seen a bird
Should trouble on should trouble on
