Whatever It Takes movie - Play That Funky Music lyrics

rate me

Song by Wild Cherry<br /><br>

Once I was a boogie singer <br>

Playin' in a Rock 'n Roll band <br>

I never had no problems <br>

Runnin' down the one night stands <br>

And everything around me <br>

Got to start to feelin' so low <br>

And I decided quickly <br>

To disco down and check out the show <br>

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

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

Chorus: <br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Play that funky music right <br>

Play that funky music white boy<br>

Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die <br>

'til you die, oh 'til you die <br>

<br>

I tried to understand this,<br>

I thought that they were out of their minds.<br>

How could I be so foolish (how could I), <br>

to not see I was the one behind.<br>

But still I kept on fightin',<br>

woah, loosin every step of the way.<br>

I said I must go back there,<br>

and check and see if things (are) still the same<br>

<br>

Repeat Chorus<br>

<br>

(Solo) <br>

Hey, wait a minute<br>

<br>

Now first it wasn't easy <br>

Changin' rock 'n roll minds<br>

And things were gettin' shaky <br>

I thought I'd have to leave it behind <br>

But now it's so much better <br>

I'm funking out in every way <br>

But I'll never lose that feeling <br>

Of how I learned my lesson that day <br>

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

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

<br>

Repeat Chorus: <br>

<br>

They shouted<br>

Play that funky music<br>

Play that funky music<br>

Play that funky music<br>

Play that funky music<br>

Play that funky music<br>

<br>
