Play That Funky Music Lyrics


    Hey…do it now…yeah hey

    Yeah, once I was a boogie singer…playin' in a rock & 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 till you die…
    (hey,hey) till you die…yeah, yeah

    Well, I tried to understand this…Yeah, huh, 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 (Yeah, what'd you do?)
    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 till you die…
    Till you die…(Yeah) Wow, till you die

    (Come on…Play some electrified funky music)

    [Hey, wait a minute] Now first it wasn't easy…changin' rock & roll and minds
    And things were getting shaky…I thought I'd have to leave it behind
    Oh, but now its so much better [It's so much better]…I'm funkin out in ev-er-y 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 till you die…
    Till you die…oh, till you die


    (They shouted, Play that funky music) Play that funky music
    (Play that funky music) Got to keep on…Play that funky music
    (Play that funky music) Pl--AY that funky music
    (Play that funky music) Wanna take ya higha now…

    Play that funky music white boy
    Play that funky music right, yeah

    Play that funky music white boy
    Play that funky music right

    Play that funky music white boy
    Play that funky music right, yeah
