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
