Once I was a boogie singer Playin' in a Rock 'n Roll band I never had no problems Burnin' down the one night stands And everything around me Got to start to feelin' so low And I decided quickly To disco down and check out the show Yea they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin' And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Chorus: Play that funky music white boy Play that funky music right Play that funky music white boy Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die 'til you die, oh '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), to not see I was the one behind. But still I kept on fightin', woah, loosin every step of the way. I said I must go back there, and check and see if things (are) still the same
Repeat Chorus
(Solo) Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy Changin' rock 'n roll at Myze And things were gettin' 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 dancin' and singi' and movin' to the groovin' And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Repeat Chorus:
They shouted Play that funky music Play that funky music Play that funky music Play that funky music Play that funky music
