George Clinton Play the Funky Music Lyrics

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

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 every 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... yeah
oh, till you die

(They shouted, Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Got to keep on, play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
