Yeah, there was a funky singer Playin' in a rock & roll band And never had no problems, yeah Burnin' down one night stands And everything around me, yeah Got to stop to feelin' so low And I decided quickly,Yes I did To disco down and check out the show Yeah they was 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 Till you die, oh till you die Gonna play that electrified funky music, yeah Hey wait a minute Now at first it wasn't easy Changin' rock & roll and minds And things were getting shaky I thought I'd have to leave it behind 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) Or how I learned my lesson that day 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 Till you die, oh till you die Play that funky music Play that funky music Gotta keep on playin' funky music Play that funky music........
