Hey do it now
yeah hey
Yeah once there was
a funky singer
Playin' in
a rock & roll band
And never had
no problems yeah
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
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
fightin'
Well losin' 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
that boogie
And play that
funky music
Till you die
till you die~
Now first
it wasn't easy
Changin' rock n roll
at Myze
And things were
gettin' shaky
I thought I'd have to
leave it behind
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
Of how I learned
my lesson that day
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
They shouted
play that funky music
Play that funky music
play that funky music
Gotta keep on
play funky music
Play that funky music
play that funky music
Play that
funky music
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
right
Play that
funky music~
