Play that funky music
Yeah hey
Hey
Once there was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems, yeah
burnin'out the one night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feeling so low
And I decied quickly, yes is did
To disco down and check out this show
Yeah there was dancing
And singing
And moving to the grooving
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 til you die
Til you die?
(Yeah)
Oh til you die
I tried to understand this
I thought that they where 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
Loosing every step of the way
(And what you do?)
I said I must go back there, got to go back
And check to see if things still the same
Yeah there were dancing
And singing
And moving to the grooving
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 wear that funky music til you die
Til you die?
(Yeah)
Oh til you die
Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changing rock and roll and minds
And things where getting shaky
I thought I had to leave it behind
Now its so much better, it's so much better
I'm funkying out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling, no I won't
On how I learned my lesson that day
Yeah there were dancing
And singing
And moving to the grooving
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 til you die
Til you die?
(Yeah)
Oh til you die
Thay shouted
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
