Play That Funky Music

Yeah, once I was a boogie singer

Playin' in a rock n' roll band

I never had no problems, yeah

Burnin' down the one night stands

And everything around me, yeah

Got to start to feelin' so low

And I decided quicklyyes, 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

(Hey,hey) till you die

Yeah, yeah

Well, I tried to understand this

Yeah, huh, I thought that they were

Out of their minds

How could I be so foolish,How could I

Tonight's the hours, the one behind

So still I kept on fightin

Wow, loosin' every step of the way

(Yeah, what'd you Do?)

I said, I must go back thereGot 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

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die

Till you die

Changin' rock n' roll and minds

And things were getting shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

Oh, but now its so much betterIt's so much better

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
