Play that funky music

Hey do it now yeah hey

I was a boogy 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 stop to feelin' so low

And I decided quickly yes I did

To disco down and check out the show

Yeah they was

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

I tried to understand this

I thought that they were out of their minds

To not see I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting

Well loosing every step of the way

And check to see if things still the same

Yeah they was 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 ya

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

I'm funking out in every way

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

They 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 ya

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right
