Play That Funky Music

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a Rock & Roll Band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the night stands

And everything around me,
Got to stop 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
Till you die,
oh till you die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were outta there minds
How could I be so foolish
how could I
To not See I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting
well
Loosing every step by the way
I said, I must go back there
i've got to go back
In Jackessee still the things are the same

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
all right

At first it wasn't easy
Changed in Rock'n'Roll at minds
The things won't get 'n shaking
I thought I have to leave it behind

But now it's so much better
it's so much better
I'm funking out and every way (?)
Well, I'll never loose that feeling
no, I won't
How I learned my lesson that day

When they wereDancin' and singin'
and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
got to give for playing that funky music (?)
paly that funky music white boy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
