Hey, do it now

Yeah hey

Yeah, Once there was a funky singer

Playin' in a rock & roll band

I never had no problems, yeah

Burnin' down the 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 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 till you die

Till you die

Oh till you die.

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 losing 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 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.

Spoken ( Gonna play some electified funky music, come on )

Guitar Solo ( a, ha, ha )

( Spoken: Hey wait a minute )

Now first it wasn't easy

Changin' Rock & Roll and minds

And things were getting shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

Oh 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' ( you 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 Ya Gotta keep on playin' funky music

Play that funky music(x3)

Gonna take it higher now

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music ( Fade ),
