Play That Funky Music
Written by - Robert Parissi
Hey do it now      
Yeah hey
Yeah

There was a funky singer
Playin' in a rock & roll band
And never had no problems yeah     
Burnin' down 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 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
Oh, till you die
Gonna play that electrified funky music, yeah

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
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' 
No 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 till you die
Till you die
Oh till you die

They shouted play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gotta keep on playin' 
Funky music
Play that funky music
