| Once I was a boogie singer | |
| Playin' in a rock and roll band | |
| I never had to problems | |
| Burnin' dowm 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 | |
| till you die※ | |
| I tried to understand this | |
| I thought 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 | |
| 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 | |
| (※くり返し) | |
