Undercover Brother


Hey…do it now…yeah hey 

Yeah, once I 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 start 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… 
(hey,hey) till you die…yeah, yeah 

Well, I tried to understand this…Yeah, huh, I thought that they were out of their minds 
How could I be so foolish, [How could I]…tonight's the hours, the one behind 
So still I kept on fightin'…Wow, loosin' every step of the way (Yeah, what'd you do?) 
I said, "I must go back there"[Got to go back]…and check to see if 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…(Yeah) Wow, till you die 

(Come on…Play some electrified funky music) 

[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 funkin out in ev-er-y 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
