This young generation
That's all I ever hear
But the ol' folks are runnin' this world
Keeping us all in fear
Everybody's talking 'bout
The state this world is in (I don't like it)
But nobody wants to turn around
And help their fellow man
I remember last Thanksgiving
We're all about to bow our head
We heard a strange noise from the table
The turkey jumped up, and he said
This world sure is funky
I heard him, I heard him say, yeah
This world sure is funky
Wooh
Sittin' on my you know what while the world is fallin' down (That's right)
If I had my own rocket ship, I wouldn't stick around (Doo doo doo, wow)
Our meter has gone crazy, and there's nothing we can do
As swiftly in his cabinet, what happened to their stew
Everybody's talking 'bout
The state this world is in (I don't like it)
But nobody wants to turn around
And help their fellow man
Last year at Christmas
It really was a drag
I saw Santa Claus walkin' down the street
With an empty bag
I heard him say
This world sure is funky
I, I, I heard him, I heard him say, yeah
This world sure is funky
Wooh
This world sure is funky
This world sure is funky
This world sure is funky
This world sure is funky
This world sure is funky
This world sure is funky
