Once I was a boogie singer
Playin´ in a Rock ´n Roll band
I never had no problems
Runnin´ down the one night stands

And everything around me
Got to start to feelin´ so low
And I decided quickly
To disco down and check out the show

Yea they were dancin´ and singin´ and movin´ to the groovin´
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

[refrain]
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music right
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music ´til you die
´til you die, oh ´til you die

Now first it wasn´t easy
Changin´ rock ´n roll at Myze
And things were gettin´ shaky
I thought I´d have to leave it behind

But now it´s so much better
I´m funking out in every way
But I´ll never lose that feeling
Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were singin´ and dancin´ and movin´ to the groovin´
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

[refrain]

Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music ´til you die
´til you die, oh ´til you die
