James Brown Play That Funky Music Lyrics

Play That Funky Music Lyrics

Play that funky music

Yeah hey
Hey

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

Yeah there were dancing
And singing
And
moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned
around
And shouted

Play that funky music withe boy
Play that funky
music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play
that funky music til you die
Til you die?
(Yeah)
Oh til you
die

I tried to understand this
I thought that they where 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 there were dancing
And
singing
And moving to the grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody
turned around
And shouted

Play that funky music withe boy
Play
that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the
boogie and wear that funky music til you die
Til you die?
(Yeah)
Oh
til you die

Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn’t
easy
Changing rock and roll and minds
And things where getting shaky
I
thought I had to leave it behind
Now its so much better, it’s so much
better
I’m funkying 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 dancing
And singing
And moving to the
grooving
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around
And
shouted

Play that funky music withe boy
Play that funky music
right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down the boogie and play that
funky music til you die
Til you die?
(Yeah)
Oh til you die

Thay
shouted
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky
music
Play that funky music

Play that funky music withe boy
Play
that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky
music right
Play that funky music white boy
