PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC WHITE BOY        Rare Earth

Guitar Intro:
Hey do it now    Yeah hey

verse 1
Hey ya there wa a groovy singer   Playing in a Rock & Roll band
And never had no problems yeah    Burning down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feeling so low     And I decided quickly, yes I did
To disco down and check out the show    Yeah they was

Chorus
Dancin' and singin'   and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play the funky music white boy
play the funky music right
play the funky music white boy
Lay down and boogie and play that funky music 'til you die, 'til you die,  yeah

Verse 2
I tried to understand this       I thought that they were out of there minds
How could I be so foolish        (spoken: how could i)
To not see I was the one behind
So instead I kept on biting      well, losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there      (i got to go back)
And check if everything's still the same     Yeah they were

Chorus
Dancin' and singin'   and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play the funky music white boy
Play the funky music right
Play the funky music white boy
Lay down and boogie and play that funky music 'til you die, 'til you die,  oh 'til you die
(spoken:come on play some electrified funky music... yeah

Guitar Solo

(spoken:hey wait a minute)      Now first it wasn't easy
Changing Rock & Roll and minds  But things were getting shaky
I thought i'd have to leave it behind
And now it's so much better     (spoken:Yeah so much better)
I'm funking out in every way
But i'll never lose that feeling (spoken:no i won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were

Chorus
Dancin' and singin'   and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play the funky music white boy
Play the funky music right
Play the funky music white boy
Lay down and 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
Gotta keep on playing the funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play until you fall and drop
Play that funky music
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music
Play that funky music right
(and fade)
