Lyrics
Hey... do it now
Yeah hey
Hey once I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock and roll band
I 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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die
Hee-hee
Till you die (yeah)
Yeah-yeah
Well I tried to understand this (yeah) hey
I thought that they were out of their minds huh
How could I be so foolish?
How could I?
To not see I was be one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well losin' every step of the way
(what you do?)
I said I must go back there I got to go back
And check to see if things still the same
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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die hey
Till you die (yeah)
Oh till you die
Come on play some electified funky music
Hey wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy changin' rock and roll and minds
And things were gettin' shaky (yeah)
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh but now it's so much better it's so much better
I'm funkin' out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' 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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die hey
Till you die (yeah)
Oh' till you die... yeah
(come on) They shouted play that funky music
Play that funky music
(play that funky music)
You gotta keep on playin' funky music
(play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(play that funky music)
Wanna take you higher y'all
(play that funky music)
White boy
(play that funky music)
Right yeah

White boy
