Play That Funky Music

Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry

Hey do it now

Yay hey

Yeah once I was a boogie singer

Playing in a rock and roll band

I never had no problems no

Burning down the one night stands

Playing everything around me yeah

Got to stop to feeling so low

And now I started quickly yes I did

To disco down and check out the show

And they were dancing and singing and movin' to the groovin'

Then just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music it right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down the boogie

And play that funky music till you die

Till you die yeah

Try to understand this

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 fighting

Well losing every step of the way

I said I must go back there

I got to go back

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

Gonna play that electified funky music

Wait a minute

Now first it wasn't easy

Changin' rock and roll and minds and things started getting shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

But now it's so much better

It's so much better

I'm funking out in every way

But I'll never lose that feelin' no I won't

Of how I learned a 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

Come on

They shouted play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

You Gotta keep on playin' funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

I wanna take you higher now

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
