HONOR EXCLAMATION OF FUNKATATION (worth a psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop) I promise to do my duty For Uncle Jam and my booty And then, in the face of the enemy, To protect the groove... That we hold so dear! To hold said groove 'til crystal clear! So that the blind may see, and the deaf may hear! So that the frigid may feel the funk!
