Hey, do it now |
|
Yeah, hey |
|
Hey, Once I was a funky singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band |
|
I 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 was 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 ya, ya |
|
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, loosing 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 was 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, ya |
|
Till you die |
|
(Gonna play that electified funky music, yeah) |
|
(Hey, wait a minute) |
|
Now first it wasn't easy |
|
Changin' Rock and Roll and minds and things were getting shaky |
|
I thought I'd have to leave it behind |
|
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' (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 |
|
(You Gotta keep on playin' funky music) |
|
Play that funky music |
|
(Play that funky music) |
|
Play that funky music |
|
(Come and take you higher, ya) |
|
Play that funky music white boy |
|
Play that funky music right, ya |
|
