Play That Funky Music : Lyrics

Hey-ah, 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

Then everything around me, yeah
It got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly, yes, I did, heh
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 'til you die"
'Til you die, yeah (What?)

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 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 (Yeah)
Play that funky music right, oh
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die"
'Til you die (Yeah)
Woah, 'til you die
Gonna play some electrified funky music, yow!

[Guitar Solo]

Now first it wasn't easy
Changing rock and roll and minds
Yeah, things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind, uh

Ooh, 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 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 'til you die", heh heh

'Til you die (Yeah)
Oh, 'til you die, yeah
Come on, let's go!
