Hey, do it now Yeah, hey
Once I was a boogie singer Playing in a rock'n'roll band
I never had no problems, yeah Burning down the one-night stands
And everything around me, yeah Got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly, yes I did To disco down and check out the show
Yeah, they were dancing and singing And moving to the groove
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 Till you die, yeah
Oh, till you die Gonna play to the left, left, left, left
Hey, baby, now first it wasn't easy Changing rock'n'roll at my age
Yeah, things were getting shaky I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now it's so much better It's so much better
I'm funking out in every way But I'll never lose that feeling
No, I won't Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were dancing and singing And moving to the groove
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 Till you die, yeah
Oh, till you die
