Once I was a boogie singer Playin' in a Rock & Roll Band I never had no problems Burnin' down the night stands
And everything around me, Got to stop 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 till you die Till you die , oh till you die
I tried to understand this I thought that they were outta there minds How could I be so foolish To not See I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting Loosing every step by the way I said, I must go back there In Jackessee still the things are the same
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 till you die Till you die, oh till you die
[SOLO]
At first it wasn't easy Changed in Rock'n'Roll at mind The things won't get 'n shaking I thought I have to leave it behind
But now it's so much better I'm funking out and out by the way Well, I'll never loose that feeling How I learned by lesson yeahea
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 till you die Till you die, oh till you die
That's all Play that funky music... 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 white boy Play that funky music right
