Play That Funky Music

Once I was a boogie singer

Playing in a rock and roll band

I never had no problems

Running down the one night stands

And everything around me

Got to start to feeling so low

And I decided quickly

To disco down and check out the show

Yea they were dancing and singing and moving to the grooving

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 'til you die

Now first it wasn't easy

Changing rock and roll at myze

And things were getting shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

But now it's so much better

I'm funking out in every way

But I'll never lose that feeling

Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were dancing and singing and moving to the grooving

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 'til you die
