Once I was a boogie singer
|
Playin' in a Rock & Roll Band
|
I never had no problems
|
Burnin' down the night stands
|
|
And everything around me,
|
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 till you die
|
Till you die ,
|
oh till you die
|
|
I tried to understand this
|
I thought that they were outta there minds
|
How could I be so foolish
|
To not See I was the one behind
|
|
So still I kept on fighting
|
Loosing every step by the way
|
I said, I must go back there
|
In Jackessee still the things are the same
|
|
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
|
|
[SOLO]
|
|
At first it wasn't easy
|
Changed in Rock'n'Roll at mind
|
The things won't get 'n shaking
|
I thought I have to leave it behind
|
|
But now it's so much better
|
I'm funking out and out by the way
|
Well, I'll never loose that feeling
|
How I learned by lesson yeahea
|
|
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
|
|
That's all
|
Play that funky music...
|
Play that funky music white boy
|
Play that funky music right
|
Play that funky music white boy
|
Play that funky music right
|
Play that funky music white boy
|
Play that funky music right
|
Play that funky music white boy
|
Play that funky music right
|
