Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry

Lyrics by：Robert Parissi

Hey do it now

Yeah hey

Hey once I was a boogie singer

Playin' in a rock-and-roll band

I never had no problems

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

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

'Til you die

Oh 'til you die

Gonna play some electrified funky music

Hey wait a minute

Hey baby

Now first it wasn't easy

Changing rock-and-rolling minds

And things were gettin' shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

Oh but now it's so much better it's so much better

I'm funking out in every 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

Oh 'til you die

They shouted

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

You got to keep on playin' funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky mu
