Play That Funky Music

Hey, do it now, huh

Yeah, hey

Hey, once I was a boogie singer

Playin' in a rock and roll band

I never had no problems, yeah

Burnin' down the one night stands

Then everything around me, yeah

Got to start to feelin' so low

And I decided quickly, yes, I did, heh

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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die

Yeah, till you die, yeah, hear, hear

I tried to understand this (Yeah)

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 fightin'

Well, losin' every step of the way (Hey, what'd you do?)

I said, I must go back there, I got to go back

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, yeah, oh, till you die

Come on, play some electrified, funky music

Hey, wait a minute

Now, first it wasn't easy

Changin' rock and roll and minds

Yeah, things were gettin' shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

Ooh, but now it's so much better, it's so much better

I'm funkin' 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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die

Till you die, oh, till you die, yeah (Yeah)

Come on, let's go (They shouted, play that funky music)

Play that funky music (Play that funky music)

You got to keep on playin' funky music (Play that funky music)

Play that funky music (Play that funky music)

Wanna 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
