Sylvester's: Do You Wanna Funk

AWESOME! This one way to describe "Do You Wanna Funk." This song was disco's Anthem of the 80s. It is the greatest dance music song and it is a CLASSIC. "Do You Wanna Funk" could have and should have done better in the charts! But didn't. Disco music was dying or to say the least had gone underground. Had this song been written and released in the 70s, I'm willing to bet that this song would have done much better in the charts than "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real." I first came across "Do You Wanna Funk" during my dance years at Hines & Hatchett, now Broadway Dance Center. It was always played at some point of our jazz dance warm-up routine. It was frequently played at the gyms when the aerobics craze arrived on the scene. This song just bumps you up! Makes you wanna move, makes you wanna dance and makes you feel good. "Do You Wanna Funk" is basically a feel good song. "Do You Wanna Funk," may not have been a hit on the charts but it is a hit in most people's hearts and mind. Just read the YouTube comments below! Sylvester and Patrick worked well together in collaborating with this song. Patrick wrote the song, played the synthesizer and Sylvester, lent his voice! This resulted in an innovative dance music classic that will be around forever!

Do You Wanna Funk Lyrics


There is something
I wanna ask you
There is something
That I want to know
And to this question
You have the answer
So tell me
What I want to know

Do you wanna funk?
Won't you tell me now?
If you wanna funk
Let me show you how
Do you wanna funk with me?
Do you wanna funk with me?

So if I tell you
That you're really something, baby
Will you stay
Or will you go away
And when I lay my
Good lovin' on ya
What will it cost me, baby
What will you make me pay

Do you wanna funk?
Won't you tell me now?
If you wanna funk
Let me show you how
Do you wanna funk with me?
Do you wanna funk with me?

Yeah let me show ya how yeah
(Get down on the floor)
Like this!
(Get down on the floor)

Do you wanna funk?
Won't you tell me now?
If you wanna funk
Let me show you how
Do you wanna funk with me?
Do you wanna funk with me?
