Hey, do it now
|
Yeah, hey
|
|
Hey, Once I was a funky singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band
|
I never had no problems, yeah
|
Burnin' down one night stands
|
And 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 was 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
|
Till you die
|
Oh ya, ya
|
|
I tried to understand this
|
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, loosing 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 was 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
|
Till you die, ya
|
Till you die
|
|
(Gonna play that electified funky music, yeah)
|
|
(Hey, wait a minute)
|
Now first it wasn't easy
|
Changin' Rock and Roll and minds and things were getting shaky
|
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
|
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 till you die
|
Till you die
|
Oh' till 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
|
(Come and take you higher, ya)
|
Play that funky music white boy
|
Play that funky music right, ya
|
Play that funky music white boy
|
Play that funky music right
|
Play that funky music white boy
|
Play that funky music right
|
