Hey... do it now... yeah hey Yeah, once I was a boogie singer…playin' in a rock & roll band I never had no problems, yeah... burnin' down the one night stands And everything around me, yeah... got to start to feelin' so low And I decided quickly (yes, I did)... 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 that boogie and play that funky music till you die… (hey,hey) till you die... yeah, yeah Well, I tried to understand this…Yeah, huh, I thought that they were out of their minds How could I be so foolish, (How could I)... tonight's the hours, the one behind So still I kept on fightin'…Wow, loosin' every step of the way (Yeah, what'd you do?) I said, "I must go back there"(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 that 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 & roll and minds And things were getting shaky... I thought I'd have to leave it behind Oh, but now its so much better (It's so much better)... I'm funkin out in ev-er-y 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 that 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) Got to keep on…Play that funky music (Play that funky music) Pl--AY that funky music (Play that funky music) Wanna take ya higha now… Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right, yeah Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right, yeah |
