Play That Funky Music 
Composer(s): Robert Parissi
Performer(s): Wild Cherry



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 (it's 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 
Play that funky music
Got to keep on playing funky music
Play that funky music
