Play That Funky Music White Boy Lyrics - Singles - Wild Cherry

Hey ?do it now ?yeah hey 

Yeah, once I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock roll band 

I never had no problems, yeah ?burnin' down the one night stands 

And everything around me, yeah ?got to start to feelin' so low 

And I decided quicklyyes, I did?to disco down and check out the show 

Yeah, 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 that boogie and play that funky music till you die 

(Hey,hey) till you die ?yeah, yeah 

Well, I tried to understand this??Yeah, huh, I thought that they were out of 

Their minds 

How could I be so foolish,How could I?tonight's the hours, the one behind 

So still I kept on fightin'??Wow, loosin' every step of the way (Yeah, what'd you 

Do?) 

I said, I must go back thereGot to go backand check to see if things still 

The same 

Yeah, 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 that boogie and play that funky music till you die? 

Till you die??(Yeah) Wow, till you die 

(Come on ?Play some electrified funky music) 

Hey, wait a minuteNow first it wasn't easy changin' rock n' roll and minds 

And things were getting shaky??I thought I'd have to leave it behind 

Oh, but now its so much betterIt's so much betterI'm funkin out in ev-er-y 

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 that 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) Got to keep on??Play that funky music 

(Play that funky music) Pl--AY that funky music 

(Play that funky music) Wanna take ya higha now 

Play that funky music white boy
