Once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a Rock 'n Roll band
I never had no problems
Runnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me

Got to start to feelin' so low

And I decided quickly

To disco down and check out the show



Yea they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted



[refrain]

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music right

Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

'til you die, oh 'til you die



Now first it wasn't easy

Changin' rock 'n roll at Myze

And things were gettin' shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind



But now it's so much better

I'm funking out in every way

But I'll never lose that feeling

Of how I learned my lesson that day



When they were singin' and dancin' and movin' to the groovin'

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted



[refrain]



Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

'til you die, oh 'til you die
