In the heat of the summer on the east side of town
(Oh oh, the Funky Tomato)
Got a brand new dance goin' around
(Oh oh, the Funky Tomato)
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go
Everybody's doing that Funky Tomato
Put your hands in the air (Put your hands in the air)
Do not resist arrest (Do not resist arrest)
Now shake your derriere (Shake your derriere)
From east to west like you know east is best
Now put your hands out wide, try to touch your nose (put your hands out wide and touch your nose)
If you can't do that man, you can't drive home
Now you got it, look at you go
Now you're doing that Funky Tomato
Forget the Watusi (oh)
And the Boogaloo
The Shag and the Shake (oh)
Forget the Shuffle too
Forget about the Monkey and the Mashed Potato (oh)
Everybody's doing that Funky Tomato
Put your hands in the air (Put your hands in the air)
Do not resist arrest (Do not resist arrest)
Now shake your derriere (Shake your derriere)
From east to west like you know east is best
Now put your hands out wide, try to touch your nose (put your hands out wide and touch your nose)
If you can't do that man, you can't drive home
Now you got it, look at you go
Now you're doing that Funky Tomato
