Fountain's Funk Lyrics

Everybody gather round and I'll tell you the story about how it went down

In the middle of a sleepy town, there was an old stone fountain

The grass was green and the water was clean, and it sprung from the source if you know what I mean

Every night, the whole town would drink up and get down

Here's the thing, You could get drunk off the spring, And the whole town'd pass it round

And the music they made, getting drunk in the cave, was enough to shut the whole thing down

There was a fountain, an old stone fountain, on the side of the hill

And the songs that they sang, were heard from miles away, now the fountain has been torn down

Snakeskin Sally and Crazy Moe, came up from the sun down in Mexico

And followed the sound through the shady grove, to the old stone fountain

Sally was a pirate whose thirst was mean, and Moe was a pimp who would try anything

They sat down by the fountain and poured themselves a drink

Here's the thing, they never knew they could sing, but the melody flowed like wine

And they hid out of sight, drinking all through the night

Sally thought that she could fly

When Crazy Moe, woke from his dream, and saw all the blood that was on the scene

He looked around, and set his sights on the old stone fountain

Sally was the woman that I did love, and I swear by the moon and the stars above

If I can't be with her, then I'll join her in the afterlife

Here's the thing, she wasn't wearing a ring, but I always meant to ask her

And now that she's gone, I just can't go on

This was one great big disaster

So with this dynamite blast, there

Was a the fountain, an old stone fountain, on the side of the hill

And the feeling it gave, We're still feeling today, but the fountain has been torn down

Everybody gather round, and I'll sell you the moral if it can be found

It was never about the sleepy town, or the old stone fountain

Those kind of people come hard and fast, but they weren't the first, and they won't be the last

You can tear down the fountain, but the water lives underground

Here's the thing, you could get drunk on the spring, and the whole town passes brown

And the love that they made, singing songs in the cave, was enough to shut the whole thing down

But that water lives underground

There was a fountain, there is a fountain, on the side of the hill

And the songs that he sang, We're still singing today, but the fountain has been torn down

Yes, the feeling it gave, We're still feeling today, but the fountain has been torn down
