These are some of the lyrics from the song Play That Funky Music By Wild Cherry

Yeah, once I was a Funky singer
Playin' in a Rock & 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 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
