Once I was a boogie singer

Playing in a rock and roll band

I never had no problems – yeah

Running down the one night stands

Then everything around me – yeah

Got to start to feeling so low

And I decided quickly – yes I did

To disco down and check out the show.

 

CHORUS

Yeah they were dancing and singing

And moving with 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.  Oh till you die

 

SOLO

At first it wasn’t easy

Changing rock and roll at nights

And things were getting shaky

I thought I’d have to leave it behind

And now its so much better – yeah so much better

I’m funkin out in every way

But I’ll never lose that feelin – no I won’t

Of how I learnt my lesson that day.

 

CHORUS
