Play That Funky Music Lyrics - Singles - Wild Cherry

Hey do it now yeah hey 

Yeah, there was a funky singer 

Playin' in a rock and roll band 

And never had no problems yeah 

Burnin' down one night stands 

And 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 till you die 

Till you die, oh till you die 

I tried to understand this 

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, loosing 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 

Till you die, ya 

Till you die 

(Gonna play that electified funky music, yeah) 

(Hey, wait a minute) 

Now first it wasn't easy 

Changin' Rock and Roll and minds and things were getting shaky 

I thought I'd have to leave it behind 

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 till you die 

Till you die 

Oh' till 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 

(Come and take you higher, ya) 

Play that funky music white boy 

Play that funky music right, ya 

Play that funky music white boy 

Play that funky music right 

Play that funky music white boy 

Play that funky music right
