A Boomer Goes Funky

Another request to go to the dark side of 70’s disco, Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music”…

Yeah, once I was a boomer tanner…braisin’ with a freckled mole tan
I never had no problems, yeah…burnin' though from Celtic lands
And everything around me, yeah…got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly [yes, I did]…to doctor down and check out the moles

Yeah, docs were scannin' and pokin' and fusin' till I’m pukin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Spread that funky sunscreen white boy
Spread that funky sunscreen right
Spread that funky sunscreen white boy
Tear down that tan bad and wear that funky sunscreen till you die…
(hey,hey) till you die…yeah, yeah

Well, I tried to understand this…Yeah, huh, I thought that docs were out of their minds
How could they be so ghoulish, [How could they]…twenty-four the hours, a round behind
So still I kept on fightin'…Wow, fusin' every step of the way (Yeah, what'd you do?)
They said, "I must go back there"[Got to go back]…and check to see if things still the same

Yeah, docs were scannin' and pokin' and fusin' till I’m pukin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Pay with IV fusin’ white boy
Pay with IV fusin’ right
Pay with IV fusin’ white boy
Lay down and boogie and pay with IV fusin’ lest you die…
Lest you die…(Yeah) Wow, lest you die

(Come on…Play some electrified sunscreen music)

[Hey, wait a minute] Now first it wasn't easy…writin' blogger posts so fine
And rock was getting flaky…I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh, but now its so much better [It's so much better]…I'm funkin out in ev-er-y way
But-I'll never lose that feelin' [No I won't]…Of how I learned my lesson that day

When docs were scannin' and pokin' and fusin' till I’m pukin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Post that funky music white boy
Post that funky music right
Post that funky music white boy
Lay down Tom Petty and post that funky music till you die…
Till you die…oh, till you die

(They shouted, Post that funky music) Post that funky music
(Post that funky music) Got to keep on…Post that funky music
(Post that funky music) and toast that funky music
(Post that funky music) Wanna take ya higha now…

Stay with funky music white boy
Stay with funky music right, yeah

Stay with funky music white boy
Play that funky music right

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