"Play That Funky Music" lyrics

"Play That Funky Music"
(originally by Wild Cherry)

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock-and-roll band
I never had no problems yeah
Burnin' down the one-night stands
Everyone around me
Got to get you feelin' so low
That's about when I just took myself
To disco down and check out the show

And they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
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
Play that funky music right
Break it down

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock-and-roll band
I never had no problems yeah
Burnin' down the one-night stands
Everyone around me
Got to get you feelin' so low
That's about when I just took myself
To disco down and check out the show

And they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
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
Play that funky music right
Alright
