Hey do it now

Yeah hey

Hey once I was a boogie 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 that boogie

And play that funky music 'til you die

Till you die, yeah, oh 'til you die

Gonna play that electrified 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 it's so much better

It's so much better

I'm funking out in every way

But I'll never lose that feeling

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 that boogie

And play that funky music 'til you die

Till you die, yeah, oh 'til you die

They shouted play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Gotta keep on playin' funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music
