Minneapolis Lyrics - Prince

Performed by minneapolis 

Composed by sonny t. 

M p l(l) s 

I used 2 play the gig at archie's bunker 

Then I up and joined the jeffersons 

I was in a band with lenny kravitz's mama (your mother) 

Friday night was good every now and then 

Now I'm old and doin' so much better (so much better) 

Sellin' the wax out the back o' my subaru 

Now I cut this groove with a group called minneapolis (minneapolis) 

In this here groove, they know just what 2 do, do

Chorus: 

Mpls funkin' house from east 2 west 

Mpls funkin' (shut up) 

Mpls - clinton listen, a on test 

Mpls funkin' (shut up) 

(funkin') 

Other people's parties they be fightin' 

They're pullin' the guns and actin' like a fool 

The way I see it, the more good they be writin' 

Makin' u wish that u stayed in a funky school (school) 

First class - guitar 101, james brown - second hour 

Horn part, u ain't got none unless u got tower of power 

Bootsy will teach u all u need 2 know about the booty bass (y'all are crazy) 

And if u can't play 7, 7 on the drums, u better not show your face (u ain't funky)

Funkin' 

Nobody buy my joint, it's cool 'cause I got one (hell yeah) 

All the others cut 4 radio and cheat the fan 

Good time - take us 2 the stage and watch us move your big butt 

'cause everybody, everybody's gettin' funky in this band 

Who's in the band guys? 

Sgt. rock (sonny t, yeah, that's..that's me) (m) (p) 

Sittin' in from st. paul (we're the s-t-e-e-l-e-s) (l) (s) 

Cutie pie on vocals (jam) (m) 

And by way of queens (master t) (p) (l) (s) 

Hey, u ain't supposed 2 be on this record 

Mpls funkin' house from east 2 west 

Mpls funkin' (shut up) 

Mpls - clinton listen, a on test 

Mpls funkin' 

We just keep funkin' 

We just keep funkin' 

Get funky 

Party people steady pumpin'
