Elton john - grow some funk of your own

Available on the 1975 album "rock of the westies"

Yeah I looked at my watch and it said a quarter to five
The headlines screamed that I was still alive
I couldn't understand it
I thought I died last night
Oh I dreamed I'd been in a border town
In a little cantina that the boys had found
I was desperate to dance
Just to dig the local sounds
When along came a señorita
She looked so good that I had to meet her
I was ready to approach her with my English charm
When her brass knuckled boyfriend grabbed me by the arm
And he said grow some funk of your own amigo
Grow some funk of your own
We no like to with the gringo fight
But there might be a death in Mexico tonight
If you can't grow some funk of your own amigo
Grow some funk of your own
Take my advice, take the next flight
And grow your funk, grow your funk at home
Well I looked for support from the rest of my friends
For their vanishing trick they get ten out of ten
I knelt to pray
Just to see if he would comprehend

I was at Dodger Stadium too. Seems like yesterday...we sat on second base about 10 of us, all from the same high school...we slept in our cars on the side of the hill the night before. Just us and cases of beer. Do you remember the food fight? Wow, you sure could get away with a lot and have some fun back then...we danced on second base through the entire concert...

very underplayed Elton John tune, it seems to be that only the major Elton John fans recognize this song

[hudshsoft]
