Hey do it now yeah hey 
Once, There was a funky singer 
Playin' in a rock & Roll Band 
And never had no problems 
Burnin' down the one night stands 
And everything around me, yeah 
Got to stop to feelin' so low 
And I decided quickly
To disco down and check out the show 
Yeah 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 that boogie and play that funky music till you 
die 
Till you die , till you die ohhhh 

Now first it wasn't easy 
Changin' Rock & Rollers and minds 
And things were getting shaky 
I thought I'd have to leave it behind 
But now its so much better 
I'm funking out in every way 
But I'll never lose that feelin' 
Of how I learned my lesson that day 
And there 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 that boogie and play that funky music till you 
die 
Till you die , till you die 
Play that funky music 
Play that funky music 
Gotta keep on playin' funky music 
Play that funky music ( Fade ) 
Play that funky music white boy 
Play that funky music right
