play that funky music

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin in a Rock n Roll band
I never had no problems
Runnin down the one night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin so low
And I decided quickly
To disco down and check out the show
Yea 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 the boogie and play that funky music til you die
Now first it wasnt easy
Changin rock n roll at Myze
And things were gettin shaky
I thought Id have to leave it behind
But now its so much better
Im funking out in every way
But Ill never lose that feeling
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were singin and dancin 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 the boogie and play that funky music til you die
