Hey, give it to me now

yeah, hey

yeah, once i was a boogie singer

playing in a rock-n-roll band

I never had no problems

(yeah)

burnin down the one night stands

and everything around me

(yeah)

got to start to feel so low

then i just started quickly

(Yes it did)

to disco down and check out the show

ya they were dancin'

and singin'

and movin' 2 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 )

(uh huh, yeah yeah)

I tried to understand this ohh I thought that they were outta there minds,

how could I be so foolish?to not see I was the one behind,

and still I kept on fightin,

oh losin every step of the way, some day I must go back there

(got to go back there)

and check to see if things still the same

and 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)

(oooo till you die)

Now first it wasn't easy

Changin rock 'n' roll and minds

And things were gettin shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

but now its so much better

(its so much better)

I'm Funkin out in every way

I'll never lose that feelin

of how i learned my lesson that day

yeah,

they were dancin'

and singin'

and movin' 2 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 ya die, oooh till ya die)

they shouted play that funky music

(play that funky music)

play that funky music

(got to keep on playin funky music)

play that funky music...
