Play That Funky Music

When I was a Boogie singer
Playin' in a rock & Roll Band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down 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 ,
Yeah yeah

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish
(should I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there
(I got to go back here)
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 til you die
Til you die,til you die

Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music til you die
