  Hey-ah, once I was a boogie singer 

  Playing in a rock and roll band 

  I never had no problems, yeah 

  Burning down the one-night stands 

  Then everything around me, yeah 

  It got to start to feeling so low 

  And I decided quickly, yes, I did, heh 

  To disco down and check out the show

  B1:
  Yeah, they were dancing and singing and moving to the grooving 

  And just when it hit me, somebody turned around and shouted

  R1:
  Play that funky music, white boy 

  Play that funky music right 

  Play that funky music, white boy 

  Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die, heh heh 

  'Til you die, yeah (What?) 

  Hear, hear, heh x---x---x-

  S2:
  A-heh, I tried to understand this (Yeah) 

  Heh, I thought that they were out of their minds 

  Heh, how could I be so foolish, how could I 

  To not see I was the one behind 

  So still I kept on fighting 

  Well, losing every step of the way (Hey, what'd you do) 

  I said: "I must go back there", I got to go back 

  And check to see if things still the same

  Now first it wasn't easy 

  Changing rock and roll and minds 

  Yeah, things were getting shaky 

  (Yeah) I thought I'd have to leave it behind, uh 

  Ooh, but now it's 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
