Once I was a boogie singer

Playin in a Rock n Roll band

I never had no problems

Runnin down the one night stands

And everything around me

Got to start to feelin so low

And I decided quickly

To disco down and check out the show

Yea 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 and the boogie and play that funky music til you die

Now first it wasnt easy

Changin rock n roll at Myze

And things were gettin shaky

I thought Id have to leave it behind

But now its so much better

Im funking out in every way

But Ill never lose that feeling

Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were singin and dancin 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 and the boogie and play that funky music til you die
