LYRICS:

Hey! Do it now!

Yeah hey!

Yeah, once I was a Funky singer

Playin' in a Rock & 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 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

(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 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, Ohh til you die

Gonna play some electrified funky music, yeah

Hey wait a minute

Now first it wasn't easy

Changin' Rock & Rollin' 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 that 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

Gotta keep on playin' funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Gonna take a higher note

Play that funky music white boy
