Play The Funky Music

Hey! Do It Now! (Hey-ey-ey)

Once I was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock 'n' roll band
I never had no problems, yeah
Running down them one night stands

Now everything around me, yeah
Got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly, yes I did
To disco down and check out the show

And they were dancing and singing
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 'til you die, 'til you die, yeah-ah

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, whoa
Losing never step out of way
I said I must go back there, got to go back
and check to see if things still the same

And they were dancing and singing
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 'til you die, 'til you die,
whoa 'til you die
c'mon play some of my funky music

(Hey baby)
At first it wasn't easy
Changing rock 'n' roll in mind
Now 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 feeling, yeah I won't
Of how I learned my lesson that day

And they were dancing and singing
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 'til you die, 'til you die, oh 'til you die

(they shouted)
Play that funky music (play that funky music)
Play that funky music (you got to keep on playing funky music)
Play that funky music (play that funky music)
Play that funky music (gonna take a higher note)
(Start to fade)
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music
