Parliament
Mothership Connection (Star Child) (Live/1977)
[Intro: George Clinton]
Well, alright, Star Child here
Citizens of the Universe, Recording Angels
We have returned to claim the Pyramids
Partying on the Mothership
I am the Mothership Connection
Gettin' down in 3-D
Light year groovin'
Well all right, if you hear any noise, it ain't nobody but me and the boys out there
Are you ready to get down out there?
Are you ready to get down out there?
I want everybody to sing the song loud

[Refrain: Parliament]
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys hittin' it
You gotta hit the band

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Well, alright, alright, Star Child here
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip
Come on to the Mothership
Can y'all do the Loose Booty out there?
Are you hip to the bump?

[Refrain: Parliament]
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys hittin' it
You gotta hit the band
(Sing it one more time)
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys hittin' it
You gotta hit the band
[Interlude: George Clinton]
Well, alright, Star Child here
The Mothership Connection
The home of the P-Funk, the Bomb
Y'all got your sunglasses on out there?
Do you got your sunglasses on out there?
You know everything is on the one out there
Double up on it, fellas

[Refrain: Parliament, George Clinton]
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys, hittin' it
You gotta hit the band
(Sing it loud)
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys, hittin' it
You gotta hit the band

[Interlude: George Clinton]
Gon' turn the mutha out tonight
What's happening, Oakland?
Is everything alright?
Is everything alright?
Sing

[Refrain: Parliament, George Clinton]
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys, hittin' it
(Say it louder)
You gotta hit the band
(Y'all sing)
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys, hittin' it
You gotta hit the band
[Interlude: George Clinton]
Double on it for me again
I bet your memory bank done forgot this funk
Yeah
Free your mind and your ass will follow tonight
Can I get an amen?
Can I get an amen?

[Refrain: Parliament, George Clinton]
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys, hittin' it
You gotta hit the band
If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys, hittin' it
You gotta hit the band

[Interlude: Glenn Goins, George Clinton]
Well, when you hear seats rumble
You will feel your conscience crumble
Hit me, hit me
You gotta hit the band
Everybody get off your ass
Yeah, yeah

[Interlude: George Clinton]
You have overcome, for I am here
Would everyone rise
Everyone rise
Go on leave your funky mind right here
We'll we see if we can vibe off the Mothership
Everyone please rise right here
Raise your hand in the air
We promise we will not do you any harm
Keep it moving, fellas, on the one
Everybody rise
[Refrain: Parliament]
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride
Swing down, sweet chariot stop and let me ride

[Outro over refrain: George Clinton]
Are y'all hip to Easter Island?
Are you hip to the Bermuda Triangle?
Are you hip to the Mothership?
Are you hip to the Mothership?
Do you believe in the Mothership?
Prepare for the second coming of one Dr. Funkenstein
Close your eyes tonight
And say swing down
Right there, listen at the foot
I want everybody, right there, that foot
