Funk and Fleas

I am too exhausted to go on at any length tonight. Took Kate to Dr. with what turned out to be sand flea bites from our lovely afternoon in the park. Poor baby girl. Watched Idol and Taylor was funny and sexy and quirky as per usual. He sang "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry which I LOVE, and a Beatles ballad. Jack placed a vote for Paris, and that he got through right after the show to vote for her is not a good sign for the girl. Oh well. Did I say I was tired? Work crazy with emotions running high and one teacher bursting into tears on the playground and another cursing about the place, and swearing she was leaving. Jeez Louise, to quote the late, great John Valma aka Farmer John.

PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC
by Wild Cherry

Once I was a boogie singer
Playin' in a Rock 'n Roll band
I never had no problems
Burnin' down the one night stands
And everything around me
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
To disco down and check out the show
Yea they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Chorus:
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down and the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die
'til you die, oh 'til 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.
But still I kept on fightin',
woah, loosin every step of the way.
I said I must go back there,
and check and see if things (are) still the same

Repeat Chorus

(Solo)
Hey, wait a minute

Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock 'n roll at Myze
And things were gettin' shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now it's so much better
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feeling
Of how I learned my lesson that day
When they were dancin' and singi' and movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Repeat Chorus:

They shouted
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
Play that funky music
