Once I was a boogie singer
  Playin' in a Rock & Roll Band
  I never had no problems
  Burnin' down the one-night stands
  
  And everything around me,
  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 outta there minds
  How could I be so foolish
  To not See I was the one behind
  
  So still I kept on fighting
  Loosing every step by the way
  I said, I must go back there
  In Jackessee are things still the same
  
  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
  
  SOLO
  
  At first it wasn't easy
  Changed in Rock'n'Roll at mind
  The things won't get 'n shaking
  I thought I have to leave it behind
  
  But now it's so much better
  I'm funking out and out by the way
  Well, I'll never loose that feeling
  How I learned by lesson yeahea
  
  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
  
  That's all
  Play that funky music...
  Play that funky music white boy
  Play that funky music right
  Play that funky music white boy
  Play that funky music right
  Play that funky music white boy
  Play that funky music right
  Play that funky music white boy
  Play that funky music right
