*** Funky Buddha ***
Well it happened not too long ago, on one of those dim, dreary days.
I was down on my luck, my spirit was stuck, and I was hurting in so many ways.
My life was sliding downhill so very fast--I never thought I'd recover.
But something happened that dull gray evening that changed my life forever.
I was dragging my feet along, thinking about how my fortune came and went,
Then this thing appeared that looked really weird--just like the boogieman,
but different.
It was a mystical specter that grooved to a funky beat and glowed with a funky
color.
He slid over to me and introduced himself: "I'm the Funky Buddha."
I said, "Heeeeeey Funky Buddha, what the hell are you?
I don't think that I'm dreaming, don't believe what I'm seeing--I need a drink
or two."
He said, "Relax, I won't hurt you. In fact, I can relieve your pain.
Just give me some time, let go of your mind, and your ass will lead the way."
chorus:
The Funky Buddha is in the house.
The Funky Buddha is in the house.
The Funky Buddha is in the house.
The Funky Buddha!
So here I was, standing in front of this fleshy, funk-filled phantasm,
He was movin', he was groovin', even quivering like a muscle spasm.
I said, "Hey Funky Buddha, what can you can do for me?"
He flashed me a smile, leaned over and whispered, "Do ya feel like something
fruity?"
This Funky Buddha liked talking in riddles, and he puzzled me with his mysterious
ways,
But then I realized, to my surprise, that he was bringing me out of my downcast
daze.
I moved to his beat, I danced to his rhythm, I was hypnotized by his happy trail,
And then he said, "If you thought this was good, you're gonna love the
belly of the whale."
I said, "Heeeeeey Funky Buddha, what is this magic you do?
My body is jivin', my spirit is thrivin'--I owe it all to you."
He said, "Hey man, my pleasure. You know, you're gonna be okay.
Just keep up the spunk, and spread the funk," and with that, he floated
away.
(chorus)
