Wild Cherry

Hey, do it now, Yay hey!
Yeah, once I was a boogie singer,
Playing in a rock & roll band,
I never had no problems, yeah
Runnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feeling so low,
And I decided quickly, yes I did
To disco down and check out the show
CHORUS
Yeah they were dancing and singing and movin' to the groovin',
Then just then it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music white boy, Play that funky music it right,
Play that funky music white boy, Lay down the boogie
And play that funky music till ya die.
Till ya die,yeah
Oh,till ya 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 fightin', while losin' every step of the way (what'd you do?)
I said I must go back there (I got to go back) and check to see if things still the same
CHORUS (Come on, play some electrified funky music!) solo
Hey now wait a minute!
Now first it wasn't easy, Changing rock & roll and minds
Things were getting shaky, I thought I'd have to leave it behind,
Now its so much better, (its so much better) I'm funkin' out in everyway
But I'll never loose that feeling, (you know I won't) Of how I learnt my lesson that day.
CHORUS
They shouted
Play that funky music (play that funky music)
Play that funky music (You gotta keep on playin' funky music)
Play that funky music (play that funky music)
Play that funky music (Comon and take it higher now)
Play that funky music white boy.... (fades out)
