Hey, do it now

Hey, once I was a boogie singer

Playin' in a rock-and-roll band

I never had no problems

Burnin' down the one-night stands

And everything around me

Got to start 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? ..Yooo...til you die

..... Solo....

Now first it wasn't easy

Changing rock-and-rolling minds

And things were gettin' shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

Oh, 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 feelin' (you know, I won't)

Of how I learned my lesson that day

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? ..Yooo...til you die

They shouted

"Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

You got to keep on playin' funky music

Lay down that boogie

And play that funky music 'til you die."

Til you die?

Oh, 'til you die

They shouted

"Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

You got to keep on playin' funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Lay down that boogie

And play that funky music 'til you die."
