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
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 'im '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
Tell 'em that they'd better come on right now
Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction
Tell 'em that they'd better come on right now
Oh, the soul brothers, Jitterbugs, hip cats and
Fancy hats and pretty girls with pretty smiles
All decked out in the latest styles
And Farmer Jim and Guitar Slim and 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' bout
Some fascinatin' demonstratin here tonight
They all be gathering here, from far and near for
The Function at the Junction
Brother, you'd better come on right now
Tell 'em 'bout the function at the junction
Sister, you'd better come on right now
Talkin' 'bout a function at the junction
Everybody, you'd better come on right now
