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 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
Till you die
Oh ya, ya
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
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
Till you die, ya
Till you die
(Gonna play that electified funky music, yeah)
(Hey, wait a minute)
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
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 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
Till you die
Oh' till you die
They shouted play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(You Gotta keep on playin' funky music)
Play that funky music
(Play that funky music)
Play that funky music
(Come and take you higher, ya)
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right, ya
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Hey, do it now
Yeah, hey
Hey, Once I was a boogie singer playin' in a Rock and Roll Band

Lyrics
At first, I was afraid, I was petrified.
Kept thinkin' I could never live
Without you by my side,
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong.
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along.
And so you're back from outer space.
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face.
I should've changed that stupid lock,
I should've made you leave your key,
If I had known, for just one second,
You'd be back to bother me.
Well, now go! Walk out the door!
Just turn around now,
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I! I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive!
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
And I'll survive! I will survive!
Hey, Hey!
It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
And trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart.
And I spent, oh, so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry,
But now I hold my head up high!
And you'll see me, somebody new,
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you.
And so you felt like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free,
But now I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me!
Go now! Go! Walk out the door!
Just turn around now!
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I! I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive!
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
And I'll survive. I will survive! Oohh..
Go now! Go! Walk out the door!
Just turn around now!
'Cause you're not welcome anymore!
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I! I will survive!
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive!
And I've got all my life to live.
And I've got all my love to give.
And I'll survive. I will survive! I will survive!
At first, I was afraid, I was petrified.
Kept thinkin' I could never live

Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself
Enjoy yourself for me
You better enjoy yourself
You better enjoy yourself
You sittin' over there
Starin' into space

Come on girl while the night is young
Why don't you make yourself race
Make yourself go
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself

Come on girl, let's get it
While the feelin' is gettin' hot and hot
