Lyrics:

Well, I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems burnin' down one night stands
And everythin' around me got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly,
Yes I did to disco down and check out the show

They were dancin', they were 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 the boogie
And play that funky music 'till you die
Till you die, till you die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish?
How could I to not see they were the one behind?

So still I kept on fightin'
Losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there, yes I will
And check to see if things still the same

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 the boogie
And play that funky music till you die
'Till you die (4x)

Play that funky music (4x)

Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
(Repeat 2x)

Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down the boogie
And play that funky music till you die
'Till you die
