Play That Funky Music - Big Mama
Written by：R. PARISSI
Hey once I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And 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
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
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 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
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 ya
Till you die
Gonna play that electified funky music yeah
Wait a minute
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 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 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
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
Till you die
Till you die
Till you die
Till you die
Till you die
