[Verse 1]
I've got to tell everybody
About a girl I know
She scares me, people
She's a body and soul
She's not good-looking, ooh
She's kinda mean
But believe me, people
She's always clean

[Chorus]
No, I ain't lying
This ain't no jive
She's the funkiest thing
Alright
There is a light
And she's mine, all mine

[Verse 2]
She lives in a shack
On the post out of town
There's always food ready
When Barbara Lee comes strutting around
And then in the evening
She takes my hand
We just sit around and dig on that rad
James and Barbara blue blend
[Chorus]
No, I ain't lying
This ain't no jive
She's the funkiest thing
No, there's, there's a light

[Bridge]
Alright, hm
Oh-oh, oh, he-hey, hey
I'm glowing, woo, wee
Alright, see it like it is

[Verse 3]
Mm, some chicks are good-looking
A little bit cold
I'd rather have my baby
With a body full of soul
You gotta see her turn
You gotta see her worth
Love, she's my kind
Messes up my mind

[Chorus]
No, I ain't lying
This ain't no jive
She's the funkiest thing
La, la, la, la, la, there is a light
[Outro]
And she's mine, all mine
She's mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
La, la-la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la, la, la, la, la
You gotta, you gotta believe me
