Play That Funky Music (White Boy)
Wild Cherry
 
Hey! Do it now!  ---  Yeah, hey!
Yeah, once I was a boogie singer ... playin' in a rock n' roll band
I never had no problems, yeah ... Runnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me, yeah ... 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', 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!
(Hey, hey) 'til you die! ... Yeah, yeah!

(Come on play some electrified funky music!)

[Solo]

(Hey, wait a minute!)
Now 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 better (It's so much better)
I'm funkin out in ev-er-y Way!
But-I'll never lose that feelin' (You know 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 'til you die!
'til you die! (yeah!) Oh, 'til you diiiiie! Yeah

(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) PlaaAY that funky music
(Play that funky music) Wanna take ya higha now!
Play that funky music white boy! Play that funky music right, yeah!
Play that funky music white boy! Play that funky music right, yeah!
Play that funky music white boy! Play that funky music right, yeah!
