PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC 
(Robert Parissi)
Wild Cherry - 1976


Hey do it now yeah hey

Yeah, 
There was a funky singer 
Playing in a rock & Roll Band
And never had no problems yeah 
Burning down 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 
Yeah they was 

Dancing and singing and moving to the groin' 
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

( Gonna play that electrified funky music ,, yeah )

Hey wait a minute 
Now first it wasn't easy
Changing Rock & Roll and minds 
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better (its so much better )
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were..... 
Dancing and singing and moving to the groin' 
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

They shouted play that funky music
Play that funky music (2x)
Got to keep on playing funky music
Play that funky music
