Funky Music

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?

 

I tried to understand this

I thought that they were out of their minds

How could I be so foolish

To not see I was the one behind

 

So still I kept on fighting

Well, losing every step by the way

... we can do

I said, I must go back there

I got to go back

And check to see if things still the same

 

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."

 

'Til you die?

Oh, 'til you die

 

Gonna play some electrified funky music

 

Hey, wait a minute

 

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

 

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."

 

'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

Play that funky music

Gonna take you high and low."

 

"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 right

Play that funky music, white boy

Play that funky music right.
