Once I was a boogie singer
Playin’ in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin’ down the one night stands
And everthing around me
Got to start to feelin’ so low
And I decided quickly (Yes, I did)
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah, 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
I tried to understand this
I thought 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
Losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same
Yeah, 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
When...
Yeah, 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
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
