Hey à‚¡ à‚Âdo it now à‚Âyeah hey
Yeah, once I was a boogie singer
à‚Âplayin' in a rock roll band
I never had no problems, yeah
à‚Âburnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
à‚Âgot to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly [yes, I did]
à‚Âto 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 dieà‚¡à‚Â
(hey,hey) till you dieà‚¡à‚Âyeah, yeah
Well, I tried to understand this
à‚ÂYeah, huh, I thought that they were out of
their minds
How could I be so foolish, [How could I]
à‚Âtonight's the hours, the one behind
So still I kept on fightin'
à‚ÂWow, loosin' every step of the way (Yeah, what'd you do?)
I said, I must go back there [Got to go back]
à‚Âand 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 dieà‚¡à‚Â
Till you dieà‚¡à‚Â(Yeah) Wow, till you die
(Come onà‚¡à‚ÂPlay some electrified funky music)
[Hey, wait a minute] Now first it wasn't easy
à‚Âchangin' rock roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
à‚ÂI thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now its so much better [It's so much better]
à‚ÂI'm funkin out in ev-er-y way
But-I'll never lose that feelin' [No I won't]
à‚ÂOf 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 dieà‚¡à‚Â
Till you dieà‚¡à‚Âoh, till you die
(They shouted, Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Got to keep on
à‚ÂPlay that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Wanna take ya higha nowà‚Â
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music white boy
