Artist: Wild Cherry Album: Individual Songs

Hey do it now, yeah hey
Hey, once I was a funky singer 
Playin' in a rock and 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 quickly, yes I did 
To disco down and check out the show

And 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 and boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, well yeah

I tried to understand this, yeah
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 fightin'
Well, losin' every step of the way - so what'd you do
I said I must go back there, got to go back
And 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 and boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, yeah, oh, till you die
Come on, play some 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 
Ooh, but now its so much better, it's so much better 
I'm funkin' 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 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 and boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die, yeah, oh, till you die, yeah 

They shouted play that funky music - play that funky music
Play that funky music - gotta keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music - play that funky music
Play that funky music - come on play it
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
Play that funky music
