Well once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a Rock 'n Roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly , yes i did
To disco down and check out the show
Well 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 and boogie and play that funky music 'til you die
'til you die, oh 'til 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 I was the one behind.
But still I kept on fightin',
loosin every step of the way.
I said I must go back there,yes i will
and check and see if things (are) still the same
Well 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 and boogie and play that funky music 'til you die
'til you die, oh 'til you die
'til ya die,
ohhhh 'til ya die
play that funky music
play that funky music
play it play it play it play
ohh, i want u to play it to me now
owwwww yeeeahhh
play it to ya, play it to ya
owww
you got it yout got it
owww owww, yeah yeah yeah yeah
now lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til ya die!
