From the song "Johnny Funk" by Chaz Jankel, off his 1981 album Chasanova.

Lyrics

This is a story of Johnny Funk
who made a wish when he was a punk
he had the urge and he had the spunk
he want to learn to play the funk

didn't buy no suit didn't buy no car
he kept his money in a killer jar
he bought an ant and a black guitar
he want to be a funky star

He look scratch he learned to pick
he learned his chops, he learned his licks
He practiced hard with his rhythm stick
so Johnny Funk could get his kicks

cuz he's happy
when he's funky
cuz he likes it
when he's funky
Johnny Funk, Johnny Funk, Johnny Funk, Johnny...

He make it cry, he make it sing
Oh me oh my, you sexy thing
he make make it ?, he make it swing
he want to be the funky king

and then one day an agent came
said listen son I know this game
for funky fortune funky fame
young Johnny Funk please sign your name

and Johnny signed, a bad mistake
he base abused his lucky break he soon became a funky fake
on champagne wine and ? steak

he was happy when he was funky but his funky did a bunky? Johnny Funk, Johnny Funk, Johnny Funk, Johnny...

Then Johnny sang to Christine Cool
who played percussion after school
she sat beside him on her stool
and put the funk back in the fool

now they don't need to make it big
they're on a groove that they can dig
they fall in love and every gig
and Johnny Funk just flips his wig

That was the story of Johnny Funk
who made a wish when he was a punk
he had the urge and he had the spunk
he want to learn to play that funk

cuz he's happy
when he's funky
cuz he likes it
when he's funky
Johnny Funk, Johnny Funk, Johnny Funk, Johnny...
