Play That Funky Music - Various Artists

Hey do it now

Once I 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 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 that boogie and play

That funky music 'til 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

Tonight's the hours the one behind

So still I kept on fightin'

Wow loosin' every step of the way

I said "I must go back there"

(Got to go back)

And check to see if things still the same

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 that boogie and play

That funky music 'til you die

I first it wasn't easy

Changin' rock and roll and minds

And things were gettin' 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

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

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down that boogie and play

That funky music 'til you die

Somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music

That something funky me

(Play that funky music)

Got to keep on play that funky music

(Play that funky music)

Play that funky music

(Play that funky music)

Play that funky music

(Play that funky music)

Play that funky music

(Play that funky music)

Play that funky music

(Play that funky music)
