James Brown - Play That Funky Music

Yeah hey!!

Once there was a boogie singer
Playing in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems yeah
Burnin down the one night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feeling so low
And I decided quickly (yes i did)
To disco down and check out this show

Yeah 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 white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die!
Till you die!
Yeah oh till you die!

I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish (how could I)
To not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting
Loosing every step of the way
(And what you do?)
I said I must go back there (got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same

Yeah 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 white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die!
Till you die!
Yeah oh till you die!

(guitar solo)

Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn?t easy
Changing rock and roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I had to leave it behind
But now it's so much better (it?s so much better)
I?m funkyin out in every way
But I?ll never lose that feeling (no I won?t)
On how I learned my lesson that day

Yeah there were dancin and singin
And movin to the groovin
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 the boogie and play that funky music till you die!
Till you die!
Yeah till you die!

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

Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy....
