[E]
Hey, do it now!
Yeah, hey, hey!
Yeah, I was a movie singer, yeah.
Playin' in the rock and [Em] roll fame, [E]
[A] I had no problem, [E] yeah.
Runnin' out for one night stand,
seen everything around me, yeah.
Got [D] to start [Em] to feelin' so [D] low,
[E] then I just started to think, man, yes I did.
Took the school bus and checked out the show, yeah.
There they was dancing and singing, and moving to the groove, and,
and just when it hit me, somebody turned around
[G] and started playin' that funky music, why not?
[Dm] [G] Play that funky music right there!
Play that funky [Bb] music, why not?
[C] [Bm] Play now the blues, yeah, [A] and play that funky [G] music [E] to you.
Right, right, take it now, yeah.
Listen, [G] [E] I tried to understand this,
yes I did, I thought that they were out of their
mind, I couldn't be so foolish.
Too messy, I was the one to hide,
[Em] well, so still [E] I kept my mind down,
well, the loser never stayed far away,
I said, I must go back there,
you see, it plays down the same.
There they was dancing and singing, and moving to the groove, and,
and just when it hit me, somebody turned around [G] and started
playin' that funky [Dm] [G] music, why not?
Play that funky music right [D] there!
[G]
Play that funky [Bb] music, why not?
[C] Play [Bm] now the blues, yeah, and play [A] that funky [E] music to you.
Right, right, take it now,
take it now, come on, party till I have the [G] funky [E] music.
[Em]
[E]
[G] [E] I've been a gossip for sneezes,
now I'm changing rock and roll,
like my knees, now things were getting shaky,
I had to leave it behind,
oh, but now it's so much better,
yes it is, funky now than ever,
oh, but I never lose that feeling,
you know, I'm on, oh, how my good mother said that,
there they was dancing and singing,
[D] and moving to the groove, and just when it hit me,
somebody turned around [G]
and started playin' that funky music, why not?
Play that funky music right there!
Play that funky [Bb] music, why not?
[C] [D] Play now the blues, [Em] yeah, and [A] play that funky [E] music to you.
Well, tonight,
you turn your head,
[G] play that funky music,
play that funky music,
play that funky [Dm]
music,
[G] and you sing it
[Dm] [G] [Ab] higher,
