Play That Funky Music - The Hitters
Yeah
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
Till you die oh til you die
Well I tried to understand this
I thought that they were
Out of their minds
How could I be so foolish How could I
Tonight's the hours the one behind
So still I kept on fightin
Wow loosin' every step of the way
I said I must go back there
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
Till you die
Yeah) Wow till you die
Come on Play some electrified funky music)
Hey wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock n' roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh but now its so much better It's so much better
I'm funkin out in ev-er-y
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 that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Oh till you die
They shouted Play that funky music) Play that funky music
Play that funky music) Got to keep on
