Song by Wild Cherry<br /><br>

Hey…do it now…yeah hey<br>

<br>

Yeah, once I was a boogie singer…playin' in a rock & roll band<br>

I never had no problems, yeah…burnin' down the one night stands<br>

And everything around me, yeah…got to start to feelin' so low<br>

And I decided quickly [yes, I did]…to disco down and check out the show<br>

<br>

Yeah, they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'<br>

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted<br>

<br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Play that funky music right<br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die…<br>

(hey,hey) till you die…yeah, yeah<br>

<br>

Well, I tried to understand this…Yeah, huh, I thought that they were out of their minds<br>

How could I be so foolish, [How could I]…tonight's the hours, the one behind<br>

So still I kept on fightin'…Wow, loosin' every step of the way (Yeah, what'd you do?)<br>

I said, "I must go back there"[Got to go back]…and check to see if things still the same<br>

<br>

Yeah, they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'<br>

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted<br>

<br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Play that funky music right<br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die…<br>

Till you die…(Yeah) Wow, till you die<br>

<br>

(Come on…Play some electrified funky music)<br>

<br>

[Hey, wait a minute] Now first it wasn't easy…changin' rock & roll and minds<br>

And things were getting shaky…I thought I'd have to leave it behind<br>

Oh, but now its so much better [It's so much better]…I'm funkin out in ev-er-y way<br>

But-I'll never lose that feelin' [No I won't]…Of how I learned my lesson that day<br>

<br>

When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'<br>

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted<br>

<br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Play that funky music right<br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die…<br>

Till you die…oh, till you die<br>

<br>

<br>

(They shouted, Play that funky music) Play that funky music<br>

(Play that funky music) Got to keep on…Play that funky music<br>

(Play that funky music) Pl--AY that funky music<br>

(Play that funky music) Wanna take ya higha now…<br>

<br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Play that funky music right, yeah<br>

Play that funky music right<br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Play that funky music right, yeah<br>
