Adam Lambert - Play that Funky Music (American Idol Performance) lyrics

Hey, do it now yeah, hey

Hey, once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a Rock and Roll Band
I never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down the 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

Yeah, they was 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 oh, 'til 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
Well, losing every step of the way
I said, I must go back there
And check to see if things still the same

Yeah, they was 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 'Til you die, ya
'Til you die play that funky music
Play that funky music play that funky music

Play that funky music
Lay down the boogie and play that
Funky music till you die oh' till you die
