Hey.....
Get it on
Yeah hey
Hey once there was
a boogie singer
Playin' in a
rock and roll band
I never had
no problems, yeah
Burnin' down the
one night stands
And 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
Yeah, they were
dancin' and singin'
and movin' to the grovin'
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 and boogie
and play that funky
music till you die
Till you die, yeah
Oh till you die
Come on
play some of that
At first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock and roll
and minds
Things were
gettin' shaky
I thought I'd have to
leave it behind
And now it's
so much better
It's so much better
I'm funkin' out
in every way
But I'll never lose
that feeling, no I won't
Of how I learned
my lesson that day
When they were
dancin' and singin'
and movin' to the grovin'
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 and boogie
and play that funky
music till you die
Till you die, yeah
Oh till you die
Come on
Play that funky music
Got to keep on playing
funky music
