Playin' in a rock and roll band
Burnin' dowm the one night stands
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly (Yes, I did)
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah, they were dancin' and singin'
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
I thought they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish (How could I)
To not see I was the one behind
I said I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same
Yeah, they were dancin' and singin'
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
when...
Yeah, they were dancin' and singin'
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, oh till you die
