Classic Rock Cover Song Lyrics

Play That Funky Music
Wild Cherry

Once I was a boogie singer, Playing' in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems, Burning' down the one night stands
And everything around me, Got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly, To disco down and check out the show

[pre chorus]
Yeah, they were dancing and singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

[chorus]
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

I tried to understand this, I thought they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish, To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting, Losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there, And check to see if things still the same

[pre chorus]
[chorus]

Now first it wasn't easy, Changing rock-and-rolling minds
And things were getting 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

[pre chorus]
[chorus]

[lead vocals - Bryan/Bill]
