Play That Funky Music

Hey, do it now, huh
 Yeah, hey
 ♪
 Hey, once I was a boogie singer
 Playing in a rock 'n' roll band
 I never had no problems, yeah
 Burning down the one-night stands
 Then everything around me, yeah
 It got to start to feeling so low
 And I decided quickly, yes, I did, heh
 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 'til you die" (heh, heh)
 'Til you die, yeah, uh
 Here, here, ha
 Well, I tried to understand this (yeah)
 Heh, 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
 Well, losing every step of the way (hey, what'd you do?)
 I said, "I must go back there," I got to go back
 And check to see if things still the same
 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 (yeah)
 Play that funky music right, oh
 Play that funky music, white boy
 Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die" (heh)
 'Til you die (yeah)
 Oh, 'til you die
 Gonna play some electrified funky music, yow
 ♪
 Ah, ha, ha
 Hey, wait a minute, now first it wasn't easy
 Changing rock 'n' roll and minds
 Yeah, things were getting shaky (yeah)
 I thought I'd have to leave it behind, uh
 Ooh, but now it's so much better, it's so much better
 I'm funking out in every way
 But I'll never lose that feeling, no, I won't
 Of how I learned my lesson that day
