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 every thing a round me
got to start to feelling so low.
And I decided quickly
to disco down and check out the show.
Yeah 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 till you die.
At first it wasn't easy.
Changing rock and roll at myze.
And things were getting shaky.
I thought I'd have to leave it behind.
But now it's so much better.
I'm funking out in every way.
But I'll 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 till you die.
Yeah 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 till you die.
and play that funky music till you die.
