Lyrics:

Hey do it now

yeah hey



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



Spoken:

Hey wait a minute

Now 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 its so much better

it's so much better

I'm funking out in every 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

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



They shouted play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Gotta keep on playin'

funky music

Play that funky music
