hey once i was a boogie singer

playing in a rock and roll band

i never had no problems yeah

burning down the one night stands

yeah and everything around me yeah

got to stop to feeling so low

and i decided quickly

yes i did to disco down and check out the show yeah

they were dancing and singing

and moving to the grooving

and just then 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

till you die yeah yeah oh yeah

huh i tried to understand this yeah

huh i thought that they were out of their minds huh

how could i be so foolish

how could i to not see i was the one behind

so still i kept on fighting

oh losing every step of the way

yeah what you do i said i must go back there

got to go back and check

you see if things feel the same yeah

they were dancing and singing

and moving to the grooving

and just then 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 yeah
