Play That Funky Music Lyrics

[Intro]
A-hey, do it now, huh
Yeah, hey

[Verse 1]
Hey-ah, once I was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems
Burning down the one-night stands
Then everything around me
It got to start to feeling so low
So I decided quickly, yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show, come on

[Pre-Chorus]
Said, they were dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus]
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til yo, heh heh
'Til you, yeah (What?)
[Verse 2]
Now first it wasn't easy
Changing rock and roll and minds
Yeah, things were gеtting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it bеhind, uh
But now it's so much better, it's so much better
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling, no, I won't
I really learned my lesson that day

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, they were dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus]
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you, heh
'Til you
'til you
Wanna see every single [?] tonight
[?]

Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky funky music
Play that funky funky music
I said, play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, they were dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

[Chorus]
Play that funky music, white boy (louder)
Play that funky music right (Just a little bit louder)
Play that funky music, white boy
You said, lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
