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 

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

(solo)
Hey, wait a minute

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

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

They shouted
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
