Funky Big Band - Ilana
(w/JC/Rhona/Nikki/Justin/Britney)

(Ilana)
People gather round at the Lennox Lounge
To hear the funky sound baby

The beat hits so hard there's no further charge
You have to feel the groove

The thing is

(Ilana/All)
You've got to be real
If you wanna hear the funky big band
He who knows it feels it
Got to be real
If you wanna hear the funky big band
We who know it feel it

(Ilana)
Harlem is the place
Where you'll find the frace
Of those who feel the groove, yeah

It's not born to thee
but it brought to we
Oh and you feel the groove

The thing is

(All)
You've got to be real
If you wanna hear the funky big band
He who knows it feels it
Got to be real
If you wanna hear the funky big band
We who know it feel it

(Ilana/ All)
And the band plays
We who know it feel it
And the band plays
We who know it feel it
Funky
Can't you feel it?
Oh it's funky
Can't you feel it?
To feel this groove

The thing is

(All)
You've got to be real
If you wanna hear the funky big band
He who knows it feels it
Got to be real
If you wanna hear the funky big band
We who know it feel it
(Repeat twice)
