Brother Roots on trombone, y'all, woo
Huh, huh, everybody put your hands together
Huh, huh, woo
Good God Almighty, say (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you 'bout the chicken grease
Oh, oh, stuffs and things to make the people get out ya seat
(Out ya seat, out ya seat)
Everybody it's cool if you wanna clap your hands and, huh, stomp your feet (Come on)
(Come on down to the front where you can feel the beat)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, from the left to right, the back thе middle and the front, good God Almighty
Don't be uptight, shakе it off, do what you want
Lord, huh, huh, when they pump it in the club, I get a little bit a rub-a-dub, oh, oh
I know you love me 'cause I'm funky 'cause I just wanna show you some love (Show you some love)
[Chorus]
To my brothers on the avenue, say what (Chicken grease), woo
And to my sisters in streets, good God, huh (Chicken grease)
[Verse 2]
I, I wanna get to the other side
Y'all cross the road, cross the road
Oh, oh, but not the kid, see, I'm like that old
Bucket of Crisco sitting on top of the stove
Say I simmer to a sizzle like the days of old
But I'll wait until I mastered this
Let the others go first so the brothers won't miss
Fried 'til it's burned and crisp (Fried 'til it's burned and crisp)
Say we be cooking so the funksters can raise their fist like this (Oh)
Now you know how it's going down
Start at your neck then through your back
Then it works its way down to your feet
So unique, come on everybody let's dance to the beat
[Bridge]
I just wanna put you down (Yeah)
I just want y'all to get down (Yeah)
Everybody come get down (Yeah) to the chicken grease
Stankin', give me some chicken grease, man

If you wanna come on up in the front
Baby, yo, it's cool, it's cool
Huh, everybody that's faking the funk I'ma put you in school

I take a lesson from the rest and the rest and adolescence to man
Lord, I got the music and the instruments, I use 'em as my weapons at hand
Everybody on the floor, if you listen to me, yeah, come on
(Clap your hands) Come on (Stomp your feet)
Yeah, good God Almighty, said I just wanna put u down (Yeah)
