Play that funky music / James Brown

 

Play that funky music / James Brown
Hey, do it now
Yeah hey
Yeah, once there 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 stop 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 Till you die Oh till you die.

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish ( how could I )
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Well losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there ( I got to go back )
And check to see if things still the same

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 the boogie and play that funky music till
you die Till you die Oh till you die.
