1. We're calling everyone to ride along
To another shore
We can laugh our lives away
And be free once more
2. You burden me with your questions
You'd have me tell no lies
You're always asking what it's all about
But don't listen to my replies
3. They were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted
4. It hurts to see the man that I've become
And to know I'll never see the morning sun
Shine on the land
I'll never see your smiling face, or touch your hand
If just once more I could see
You, our home, and our little baby
5. They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip
6. Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap, just ain't my bag
The noon bells rings, you know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys on floor number two
7. He's never near you
To comfort and cheer you
When all those sad tears are fallin'
Baby from your eyes
8. I got bodyguards, i got two big cars
That definitely ain’t the whack
I got a Lincoln Continental
And a sun roof Cadillac
9. And when the sun comes up
I'll be on top
You'll be way down there
Looking up
10. I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winning
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart
Bonus Instrumental: This group’s biggest hit (#3 in 1962) was created during an impromptu recording studio jam while waiting for a sessions player to arrive. It regained popularity a decade later when it was prominently featured in the opening scenes of strip cruising in American Graffiti.
Bonus Bonus: Two of this band’s members gained fame once again when they appeared in the movie The Blues Brothers as part of the Blues Brothers Band. Who were they? (5 points each)
Super Bonus: For what did the last two initials in the group’s name stand?
