Once I was a boogie singer Playin` in a Rock & Roll Band I never had no problems Burnin` down the one night stands And they were dancing and singing 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, play Play that funky music, white boy Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die, 'til you die, yeah-ah Play that funky music, white boy Play that funky music, play Play that funky music, white boy Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die, 'til you die, yeah-ah
