Mothership Connection (Star Child) Songtext
von Parliament

Well, all right!
Starchild, 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
Gettin' down
Hit it fellas!

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hittin′ that (groovin′)
You gotta hit the band


All right, all right, Starchild here
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip
And come on up to the mothership
Loose Booty, doin' the bump
Hustle on over here now

If you hear any noise
It′s just me and the boys hittin' it
You gotta hit the band
Ain′t nothing but a party, y'all

Basic, even your memory banks have forgotten this funk
Mothership Connection, home of the P.Funk, the Bomb

If you hear any noise
It′s just me and the boys, hittin' it
Doin' it in 3-D (you gotta hit the band)

Let me put on my sunglasses here so I can see what I′m doing
When you hear seats rumble you will hear your conscience grumble
Are you gettin′ that?
You gotta hit the band
You have overcome, for I am here


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 (doin' it up on the chocolate)
Stop, and let me ride (milky way, what′s up CC?)
Swing down, sweet chariot
Stop, and let me ride (have you forgotten me?)

Are you hip to Easter Island? The Bermuda Triangle?
Heh heh! Well, all right, ain't nothing but a party!
Starchild here, citizens of the universe
I bring forth to you the good time
On the mothership
Are you hip?
Sing, fellas!

If you hear any noise
It′s just me and the boys
Hittin' it
You gotta hit the band (hit the band!)

If you hear any noise
It′s just me and the boys
Hittin' it
You gotta hit the band

Starchild here, doin' it in 3-D
So good, it′s good to me
Hit the band!

If you hear any noise
It′s just me and the boys
Hittin' it (swing low)
You gotta hit the band (sweet chariot)
(Coming forth to carry you home!

If you hear any noise
It′s just me and the boys
Hit me
Hit the band, hit the band

Oh if you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys (what′s that?)
Hittin' it
You gotta hit the band (do it for me again)
(I don′t think they can hear you)

If you hear any noise
It's just me and the boys
Hittin' it
You gotta hit the band

Starchild here, citizens of the universe
Gettin′ it on, partying on the Mothership
When Gabriel′s horn blows, you'd better be ready to go

Swing low
Time to move on
Light years in time
Ahead of our time
Free your mind, and come fly
With me
It′s hip
On the Mothership
Groovin'

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
