| Play That Funky Music |

Hey, do it now, Yeah hey
Yeah, Once there was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock & roll band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me, ( yeah )
Got to stop 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 till you die
Till you die, Oh till you die.
I tried to understand this
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 fighting
Well losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there ( I got to go back )
And check to see if things still the same Chorus
Spoken (Gonna play some electified funky music, come on )
Guitar Solo ( a, ha, ha ) / ( Spoken: Hey wait a minute )
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' Rock & Roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh but now its so much better ( it's so much better )
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' ( you no I won't )
Of how I learned my lesson that day Chorus 2x, fade
