Play That Funky Music - Live

Hey do it now, yeah hey

Yeah, there was a boogie singer

Playin' in a rock and roll band

And never had no problems yeah

Burnin' down the one night stands

Then everything around me, yeah

Got to stop to feelin' so low

And I decided quickly, yes I did

To disco down and check out the show

Yeah they was

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 'til you die

'Til you die, oh yeah yeah

Well, I tried to understand this (yeah)

I thought that 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

Well, 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 was 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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die

'Til you die, yeah

Oh 'til you die

(Gonna play some electified funky music, yeah)

(Hey, wait a minute)

Now first it wasn't easy

Changin' rock and roll and minds

Yeah, 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 funking out in every 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 the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

'Til you die, yeah

Oh 'til you die

They shouted play that funky music

(Play that funky music)

Play that funky music

(You gotta keep on playin' funky music)

Play that funky music

(Play that funky music)

Play that funky music

(Want to take you higher, ya)

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right, yeah

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Play that funky music right, yeah
