Play That Funky Music Lyrics

von Wild Cherry

1.Once I was a boogie singer , playing in a Rock n Roll band
I never had no problems , running down that one night stands
Well everything around me , got to start to feeling so low
I started quickly yes I did , to disco down and check out the show

Ref. Yeah they were dancin and singin and movin to the groove and
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
Thatfunky music til you die

2.I try to understand this , I thougt that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish , to not see I was deep one behind
SO still I kept invite him , we're loosing never step out the way
I said I must go back there , than Jack you see that things still the same

Ref. Yeah they were dancin and singin and movin to the groove and
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
Thatfunky music til you die

SOLO

3. Now first it wasnt easy , changing rock n roll in minds
And things were gettin shaky , I thought I had to leave it behind
But now it's so much better , I'm funkin out in every way
But I never lose that feeling , bout I learned my lesson that day

Ref. Yeah they were dancin and singin and movin to the groove and
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
Thatfunky music til you die
