[Verse 1] Same old couch Same chipped cup Bills on the table And I’m still showing up
Bare bulb buzz Floorboard creaks Nothing in the cupboards But I dance every week
[Chorus] I get by on the bare minimum funk Little bit of groove in a beat-up trunk Snap on two That’s enough for me If my shoulders move Then I’m living cheap and free Just a bare minimum Bare minimum funk
[Verse 2] Hand-me-down shoes Scuffed-up pride But I walk like a legend Down the checkout line
Pocket full of lint Heart full of brass Every quiet Friday I still shake my past
[Chorus] I get by on the bare minimum funk Little bit of groove in a beat-up trunk Snap on two That’s enough for me If my shoulders move Then I’m living cheap and free Just a bare minimum Bare minimum funk
[Bridge] Who said shine needs diamond things? I got swing I got swing (oh yeah) One good riff and a crooked smile And I’m styled For a while
[Chorus] I get by on the bare minimum funk Little bit of groove in a beat-up trunk Snap on two That’s enough for me If my shoulders move Then I’m living cheap and free Just a bare minimum Bare minimum funk
