  • 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
    Hit me (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

    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
    Face it, 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, hit me
    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
    Hit me
    You gotta hit the band
    You have overcome, for I am here

    Swing down, sweet chariot, stop, and let me ride

    Doin' it up on the Chocolate Milky Way
    What's up CC? Have you forgotton 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
    Hit me
    You gotta hit the band
    If you hear any noise
    It's just me and the boys
    Hit me
    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
    Hit me
    You gotta hit the band

    Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry you home!

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

    If you hear any noise
    It's just me and the boys
    Hit me
    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 Writer/s: George Bernard Worrell, George Jr. Clinton, William Earl Collins
