Who's got the funk
When you're feeling low down?
Who's going to love you
When there is no one else around?Who's going to help you
Especially when you're sick?
Mother Mary
I need you quickShe knows and she gives her everything
She knows that she can do her thing
She knows and she tries her best
She knows, oh you know she knows usWho's got the junk
When you're feeling low down?
Who's going to give
When there's none to go around?Who's going to help you
When you feel you've had enough?
