Once I was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems
Running down the one night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly
To disco down and check out the show
Yea they were dancing and singing and moving to the grooving
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 Ôtil you die
Now first it wasnÕt easy
Changing rock and roll at myze
And things were getting shaky
I thought IÕd have to leave it behind
But now itÕs so much better
IÕm funking out in every way
But IÕll never lose that feeling
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were dancing and singing and moving to the grooving
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 Ôtil you die |
