Hey do it now, yeah hey
+
Once I was a boogie singer
+
Playin' in a rock and roll band
+
I never had no problems yeah
+
Burnin' down the one night stands
+
Then everything around me, yeah
+
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 'til you die
+
'Til you die, oh yeah yeah
+
Well, I tried to understand this (yeah)
+
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
+
So still I kept on fighting
+
Well, losing every step of the way
+
I said, I must go back there (I 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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die
+
'Til you die, yeah
+
Oh 'til you die
+
(Gonna play some electified funky music, yeah)
+
(Hey, wait a minute)
+
Now first it wasn't easy
+
Changin' rock and roll and minds
+
Yeah, 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 funking out in every 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 the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die
+
'Til you die, yeah
+
Oh 'til you die
+
They shouted play that funky music
+
(Play that funky music)
+
Play that funky music
+
(You gotta keep on playin' funky music)
+
Play that funky music
+
(Play that funky music)
+
Play that funky music
+
(Want to take you higher, ya)
+
Play that funky music white boy
+
