Once I was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock 'n roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the one night stands

And we were dancing
And singing
And moving to the groove and
That's just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die.

Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music white boy

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die!!
