Sowelu - Play That Funky Music lyrics

rate me

Once I was a boogie singer

Playin’ in a rock and roll band

I never had no problems

Burnin’ down the one night stands

And everthing around me

Got to start 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

I tried to understand this

I thought they were out of their minds

How could I be so foolish (How could I)

To not see I was the one behind

So still I kept on fighting

Losing every step of the way

I said I must go back there (I got to go back)

And check to see if things still the same

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

When...

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

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music
