Michael Friedman, Brian Tyree Henry - White Boy lyrics

[Michael Friedman, Brian Tyree Henry - White Boy lyrics]

The flood is over the land is dry
Why do you wear your pants so high?

White boy white boy

You buy comics put them in plastic
Spiderman, Thor, and the Fantastic Four
But when things start getting drastic
Torch and Thing are not
Doing anything for you
You try to lead a life monastic
You try to focus on things scholastic
And when it's time for anything gymnastic
Hide, hide 'Cause gym is certain suicide

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

The other kids might call you spastic
Just develop a facade sarcastic
And never seem too enthusiastic
'Cause anything you love
You know you'll just be robbed of
On this block, the thing that's exotic is you
Type A, the nerdy neurotic Jew
You'll never dress in
Age-appropriate clothing
You'll never suppress your
Ingrained self-loathing
You start to guess that your
Parents won't save you
You learn in chess what your
Parents never gave you
Waitwaitand bingo checkmate!

Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right

Hava nagila hava nagila
Hava nagila, la la la

Lay down the boogie and play that
Funky music till you die

The flood is over the land is dry
Why do you wear your pants so high?

White boy
