Lyrics

[00:08.90] Yi yi yi, yi yi yi yi
[00:13.65]
[00:32.33] When you're on the top
[00:34.65] There's no place
[00:35.52] You can really go
[00:36.64] But down, down, down
[00:40.30] People on the street
[00:42.32] Congratulate you
[00:43.75] They say they love the way
[00:46.23] You sound, well
[00:48.90] When you're on the low
[00:50.73] No one wants to chit or chat
[00:53.42] Or even know your name
[00:57.06] Your agent's never there
[00:58.88] Your manager has ripped you off
[01:01.24] And gone somewhere
[01:03.00] Standing on the top
[01:04.90] Standin' on the top, top
[01:09.27] On the top gettin' down, yeah
[01:13.02] Standin' on the top, yeah, top
[01:17.34] On the top gettin' down
[01:21.22] Standin' on the top
[01:22.96] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:29.18] Standin' on the top
[01:31.52] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:36.58] When you're on the top
[01:39.03] Everyone you meet they
[01:40.81] Wanna be your
[01:42.07] Long lost friend
[01:44.64] They say how great you are
[01:45.88] A superstar but do you
[01:49.61] Have any money to lend (Hey, man, can you loan me a few bucks?)
[01:53.72] When you're on the low
[01:55.32] Where do all the freaks
[01:56.90] And fancy people go
[01:58.10] I don't know (I don't know)
[02:01.03] People sit and stare
[02:02.96] Askin' crazy questions
[02:04.70] Do you braid your hair (And what's L-7 Square)
[02:09.27] Standin' on the top, top
[02:13.48] On the top gettin' down, yeah
[02:17.12] Standin' on the top, top
[02:21.15] On the top gettin' down, ho
[02:25.78]
[02:41.80] Standin' on the top, top
[02:45.72] On the top gettin' down, yeah
[02:49.53] Standin' on the top, top
[02:53.82] On the top gettin' down
[02:55.95] Down, down, down
[02:57.53] We understand it
[02:59.12] Can you understand it
[03:00.67] What I'm talkin' about
[03:02.96] When I say that funk
[03:04.45] Is here to stay
[03:05.61] We understand it
[03:07.19] If you understand it

[03:23.27] We want the funk
[03:23.92] And nothin' else will do
[03:27.59] Nothin' else will do, no
[03:29.71] We want the funk
[03:31.12] Ooh, ooh, ooh
