Play That Funky Music Songtext
von Leningrad Cowboys

Hey do it now
Yeah hey

Hey once I was a boodie singer
Playin′ in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin′ so low
And I decided quickly, yes I did
To disco down and check out the show
Yeah they was

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 'til you die
′Til you die, yeah, oh 'til you die

Gonna play that electrified funky music, yeah


Hey wait a minute
Now first it wasn′t easy
Changin' rock and roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I′d have to leave it behind
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 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 'til you die
'Til you die, yeah, oh ′til you die

They shouted play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Gotta keep on playin′ funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play
