Function At The Junction

Written by：Eddie Holland/Frederick Long

I'm getting ready for the function at the junction

And 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

And 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

'Cause 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 him 'fore he 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

Baby

You better come on right now

I'm talkin' about the function at the junction

Baby ohooo

You better come on right now

Oh the soul brothers jitterbugs

Hip cats and fancy hats

Pretty girls with pretty smiles

All decked out in the latest styles

And farmer Jim and guitar slim

Betty boop and ooo boop e doop

And mohair sam from alabam

And minnesota fats from hobo flats

Breath takin' hip shakin' give it now

Talkin' about some fascinatin' demonstratin'

Do this now

They all be gathering here from far and near

For the function at the junction

You'd better come on right now

Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction

Sister you'd better come on right now

Come on come on come on come on come on

Talkin' 'bout a function at the junction

Hey he he heh

You'd better come on right now

Function at the junction

You'd better come on right now
