Play That Funky Music

Play That Funky Music Lyrics

Hey, do it now, yeah hey

Yeah, once I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock 'n' roll band
I never had no problems, yeah, burnin' down the one nightstands
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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Oh till you die, come on, play some electrified funky music

Hey wait a minute, now first it wasn't easy changin' rock 'n' roll and minds
And things were getting shaky, I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now it's so much better, it's so much better
I'm funkin' out in every way
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

Play that funky music
Got to keep on playing funky music
Play that funky music
