Lee Dorsey - Everything I Do Gohn Be Funky

I think that the man is agreeing with Tom Ripley, essentially.  Tom feels that what happens to us in life is not the important thing, because, as you know, things happen.  What is important is our attitude towards what has happened.  Stay flexible, maintain relaxed alertness, as the Samurai say, and always make the best of it.  Maintain a blithe nonchalance!  In other words, perhaps, stay funky.
