Play That Funky Music

Play That Funky Music - Dread Effect

Hey do it now

Yeah hey

Well Once

I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock

And roll band

I never had no problems

Burnin' down one night stands

And everythin' 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 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

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

They were the one behind

So still I kept on fightin'

Losing every step of the way

I said I must go back there go back there

And check to see if things still the same

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 till you die

Now first it wasn't easy

Changin' Rock and 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'

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

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music
