Play That Funky Music

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 'til you die…

'Til you die

At first, it wasn't easy, changin' rock & roll and minds

And things were getting shaky, I thought I'd have to leave it behind

Oh, but now it's so much better (It's so much better), I'm funkin out in ev-er-y 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 'til you die…

'Til you die, oh, 'til you die

They shouted (Play that funky music)

Play that funky music

(Play that funky music) Hmm got to keep on playing funky music

(Play that funky music) Play that funky music

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

'Til you die, Lord, 'til you die

They shouted (Play that funky music)

Play that funky music

(Play that funky music) Hmm got to keep on playing funky music

(Play that funky music) Play that funky music

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

'Til you die, Lord, 'til you die
