Once I was a boogie singer Playin' in a Rock 'n Roll band I never had no problems Runnin' 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
I tried to understand this I thought that they were out of their minds How could I be so foolish To not see I was the one behind So still I kept on fightin' Well, losin' every step of the way I said I must go back there And check to see if things still the same Yea they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin' And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
(Chorus) (Lead)
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 singin' and dancin' and movin' to the groovin' And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
