the funky tomato

in the heat of the summer on the east side of town

got a brand new dance goin' around

everywhere you look

everywhere you go

everybody's doing that funky tomato

put your hands in the air

do not resist arrest

now shake your derriere

from east to west like you know east is best

now put your hands out wide

try to touch your nose

if you can't do that man

you can't drive home

now you got it

look at you go

now you're doing that funky tomato

forget the watusi

and the boogaloo

the shag and the shake

forget the shuffle too

forget about the monkey and the mashed potato

everybody's doing that funky tomato

put your hands in the air

do not resist arrest

now shake your derriere

from east to west like you know east is best

now put your hands out wide

try to touch your nose

if you can't do that man

you can't drive home

now you got it

look at you go

now you're doing that funky tomato
