Play that Funky Music
Wild Cherry
Key: E

Once I was a boogie singer, playinÕ in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems, runninÕ down them 1 night stands
Everything round me got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly, yes I did
To disco down and check out the show

And there was dancing and singing and moving to the grooving
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 the boogie n play that funky music till you die

Tried to understand this, thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish to not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fightinÕ, losing every step of the way
Said I must go back there, check if things still the same

At first it wasnÕt easy, changing rock n rolling minds
Things were getting shaky, thought IÕd have to leave it behind
But now itÕs so much better, IÕm funkinÕ out in every way
But IÕll never lose that feeling of how I learn d my lesson that day
