Hey, do it now
Once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock & roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down one night stands
And everything around me
Got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show
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 that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till 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
Losing every step of the way
I said I must go back there
(I got to go back here)
And check to see if things still the same
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
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
Gonna play some electrified funky music
Hey, wait a minute
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock & roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its 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 that 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 playing funky music
(Play that funky music) play that funky music
(Play that funky music) come on and take you higher
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right, yeah
Play that funky music, honky
Play that funky music right
Lowdown
Baby's into running around
Hanging with the crowd
Putting your business in the street talking out loud
Saying you bought her this and that
And how much you done spent
I swear she must believe it's all heaven sent
Hey boy, you better bring the chick around
To the sad sad truth, the dirty lowdown
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) taught her how to talk like that
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) gave her that big idea
Nothing you can't handle, nothing you ain't got
Put the money on the table and drive it off the lot
Turn on that ole lovelight and turn a maybe to a yes
Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess
Hey son better get back to town
Face the sad old truth, the dirty lowdown
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) put those ideas in your head
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) yeah
Come on back down little son
Dig the low low, low low lowdown
You ain't got to be so bad got to be so cold
This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old
Got to have a Jones for this jones for that
This running with the Joneses boy
Just ain't where it's at
You gonna come back around
To the sad sad truth, the dirty lowdown
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) got you thinking like that boy
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
I wonder wonder wonder wonder who
(Who)
I wonder wonder wonder wonder who
(Who)
Oh look out for that lowdown
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
That dirty dirty dirty dirty lowdown
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who) got you thinking like that boy
Got you think to find the way
(Who I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who)
Lookin' at
I wonder wonder wonder who
So much desire in the world today
So much of everything you can't give it away
You could be happy but you're feeling so bad
About what you never have
Because you can't look at nothing without wanting it
And you know that's the truth
There's always some scene you think you got to break into
Or a new sensation to intoxicate you
Ain't it a drag
Staring through the glass at something doesn't touch you really
Or bring you laughter or roses or stroke your hair so tenderly
Desire
Stealing you away from me
Desire
You're living in a dream
Desire
Is getting the best of you
Who was it told you
You have to have everything you see
Same one who sold you that last fantasy
Roll up your sleeves and use those hands for something
That's gonna work for you baby
To fill your arms and your heart with joy
I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, "Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you."
I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
I said, "Wait a minute, mister,
I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you."
"Won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see me no more."
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
As the water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son,
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.
"Won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see me no more."
