Play That Funky Music

Hey, do it now

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock & roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me

Got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show
They was

Dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
How could I
To not see I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting
Losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there
(I got to go back here)
And check to see if things still the same

Yeah they were dancin', and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when, it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, oh till you die

Gonna play some electrified funky music

Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock & roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better
It's so much better
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin'
No, I won't
Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were
Dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh till you die

(They shouted: Play that funky music) play that funky music
(Play that funky music) you gotta keep on playing funky music
(Play that funky music) play that funky music
(Play that funky music) come on and take you higher
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, honky
Play that funky music right
