I always thought they were more jazz influenced than funk, though you can tell they are WAY into Motown soul.  I guess I can see what you're saying, though.

The King Of The World-

Hello 1 and all
...(my comment; not lyrics: allow me to get high for a minute now...)

Was it you I used to know...
Can't you hear me call
On this old ham radio
All I got to say
I'm alive and feelin' fine
If you come my way
You can share my poison wine

CHORUS:
No marigolds in the promised land
There's a hole in the ground
Where they used to grow
Any Man left on the Rio Grande
Is the King of the World
As far as I know(my comment: mythological, man.)

I don't want your bread
I don't need your helpin' hand
I can't be no savage
I can't be no Hiwayman
Show me where you are
You and I will spend this day drivin' in my car, through the ruins of Santa Fe

Chorus,

I'm reading last years papers
Although I don't know why, Assasins, cons and rapists, might as well die.  If you come around, no more pain and no regrets.
Watch the Sun go brown
Smokin cobalt cigerrettes
There's no need to hide
Taking things the EZ way...if I stay inside I might live til Saturday.

Chorus.

I would love to tour the Southland
In a travelling minstrel show
Yes I'd love to tour the Southland
In a traveling minstrel show
Yes I'm dying to be a star and make them laugh
Sound just like a record on the phonograph
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time
'Cause he looks so fine upon that hill
They tell me he was lonely, he's lonely still
Those days are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah

I stepped up on the platform
The man gave me the news
He said, You must be joking son
Where did you get those shoes?
Where did you get those shoes?

Well, I've seen 'em on the TV, the movie show
They say the times are changing but I just don't know
These things are gone forever
Over a long time ago, oh yeah

We're gonna break out the hats and hooters
When Josie comes home
We're gonna rev up the motor scooters
When Josie comes home to stay
We're gonna park in the street
Sleep on the beach and make it
Throw down the jam till the girls say when
Lay down the law and break it
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

Jo would you love to scrapple
She'll never say no
Shine up the battle apple
We'll shake 'em all down tonight
We're gonna mix in the street
Strike at the stroke of midnight
Dance on the bones till the girls say when
Pick up what's left by daylight
When Josie comes home

When Josie comes home
So bad
She's the best friend we ever had
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire

When Josie comes home
So good
She's the pride of the neighborhood
She's the raw flame
The live wire
She prays like a Roman
With her eyes on fire
