Once I was a boogie singer

Playing in a rock and roll band.

I never had no problems

Running down the one night stands.

And every thing a round me

Got to start to feelling so low.

And I decided quickly

To disco down and check out the show.

Yeah they were dancing and singing

And moving to the grooving

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.

At first it wasn't easy.

Changing rock and roll at myze.

And things were getting shaky.

I thought I'd have to leave it behind.

But now it's so much better.

I'm funking out in every way.

But I'll never lose that feeling

Of how I learned my lesson that day.

When they were dancing and singing

And moving to the grooving

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.

Yeah they were dancing and singing

And moving to the grooving

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 fun ky mu sic till you die.
