Play That Funky Music

Hey…do it now…yeah hey

Yeah, once I was a boogie singer, playin' in a rock & roll band
I never had no problems, yeah, burnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me, yeah, got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly [yes, I did] to disco down and check out the show

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 that boogie and play that funky music till you die…
Til you die?(Yeah)Oh til you die

(Come on…Play some electrified funky music)

Hey wait a minute

Now first it wasn't easy
Changing Rock & Roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh,but now its so much better (its so much better )
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling (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) Got to keep on Play that funky music
(Play that funky music) Pl--AY that funky music
