Play That Funky Music Lyrics

Play that funky music

Yeah hey

Hey

Once there was a boogie singer

Playing in a rock and roll band

I never had no problems, yeah

*** out the one night stands

And everything around me

Got to start to feeling so low

And I decied quickly, yes is did

To disco down and check out this show

Yeah there were dancing

And singing

And moving to the grooving

And just when it hit me

Somebody turned around

And shouted

Play that funky music withe boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music til you die

Til you die?

(Yeah)

Oh til you die

I tried to understand this

I thought that they where out of their minds

How could I be so foolish, how could I 

To not see I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting

Loosing every step of the way

(And what you do?)

I said I must go back there, got to go back

And check to see if things still the same

Yeah there were dancing

And singing

And moving to the grooving

And just when it hit me

Somebody turned around

And shouted

Play that funky music withe boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down the boogie and wear that funky music til you die

Til you die?

(Yeah)

Oh til you die

Hey, wait a minute

Now first it wasn’t easy

Changing rock and roll and minds

And things where getting shaky

I thought I had to leave it behind

Now its so much better, it’s so much better

I’m funkying out in every way

But I’ll never lose that feeling, no I won’t

On how I learned my lesson that day

Yeah there were dancing

And singing

And moving to the grooving

And just when it hit me

Somebody turned around

And shouted

Play that funky music withe boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music til you die

Til you die?

(Yeah)

Oh til you die

Thay shouted

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music withe boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy
