Hey, do it now

yeah hey



hey

Once there was a boogie singer

Playin' in a rock & Roll Band

And never had no problems

Burnin' down the one night stands

Well 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



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 chipmunk

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music chipmunk

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die

Till you die? Yeah, uh huh



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

Losing every step of the way

I said I must go back there, gotta 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 chipmunk

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music chipmunk

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

till ya die? yeah, oh till ya die



Gonna play that electrified funky music now



Spoken:

Hey wait a minute

Now first it wasn't easy

Changin' Rock & Roll and minds

And things were getting shaky

I thought I'd have to leave it behind

oh but now its so much better

it's so much better

I'm funking out in every way

But I'll never lose that feelin'

ya know I won't

Of how I learned my lesson that day



When 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 chipmunk

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music chipmunk

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die

Till you die,

oh till you die



They shouted play that funky music

Play that funky music

Play that funky music

Gotta keep on playin'

funky music

Play that funky music
