| This young generation |
| That’s all I ever hear |
| But the ol' folks are runnin' this world |
| Keeping us all in fear |
| Everybody’s talking 'bout |
| The state this world is in (I don’t like it) |
| But nobody wants to turn around |
| And help their fellow man |
| I remember last Thanksgiving |
| We’re all about to bow our head |
| We heard a strange noise from the table |
| The turkey jumped up, and he said |
| This world sure is funky |
| I heard him, I heard him say, yeah |
| This world sure is funky |
| Wooh |
| Sittin' on my you know what while the world is fallin' down (That's right) |
| If I had my own rocket ship, I wouldn’t stick around (Doo doo doo, wow) |
| Our meter has gone crazy, and there’s nothing we can do |
| As swiftly in his cabinet, what happened to their stew |
| Everybody’s talking 'bout |
| The state this world is in (I don’t like it) |
| But nobody wants to turn around |
| And help their fellow man |
| Last year at Christmas |
| It really was a drag |
| I saw Santa Claus walkin' down the street |
| With an empty bag |
| I heard him say |
| This world sure is funky |
| I, I, I heard him, I heard him say, yeah |
| This world sure is funky |
| Wooh |
| This world sure is funky |
| This world sure is funky |
| This world sure is funky |
| This world sure is funky |
| This world sure is funky |
| This world sure is funky |
