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


Spoken: gonna play that electified funky music, yeah

--- guitar solo ---


(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 it's so much better
( spoken: it's so much better )
I'm funking out in every way

But i'll never lose that feelin'
( spoken: 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
