Hey, do it now
Yeah, hey

Verse 1:
E9
Hey, Once I was a boogie singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low And I decided quickly (Yes I did)
To disco down and check out the show

Pre Chorus:
               E9
Yeah, they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Verse 2:
E9
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
Well, losing every step of the way
I said, I must go back there (I got to go back)
And check to see if things still the same

Pre Chorus:
               E9
Yeah, they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Chorus 2:
G9
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
                      A#9
Play that funky music white boy
Em7                     B7#9                           E9
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music ‘til you die
‘Til you die

Verse 3:
(Hey, wait a minute)
E9
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' Rock and Roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
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 feelin' (no I won't)
Of how I learned my lesson that day

Pre Chorus:
               E9
Yeah, they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

‘Til you die
Oh ‘til you die
