Lyrics
Alvin:
Hey, do it now
Yeah hey
Hey
Once there was a boogie singer
Playin' in a rock n' roll band
And never had no problems, yeah
Burnin' down the one night stands
Well everything around me, yeah
Got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly, yes I did, yeah
To disco down and check out the show
The Chipmunks:
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, chipmunk
Play that funky music, right
Play that funky music, chipmunk
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music 'til you die
'Til you die? Yeah, uh huh
Alvin:
I tried to understand this
I thought that they were out of their minds, yeah
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 (so what'd ya do)
I said I must go back there, gotta go back
And check to see if things still the same
The Chipmunks:
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, chipmunk
Play that funky music, right
Play that funky music, chipmunk
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die
'Til ya die? Yeah, oh 'til ya die
Alvin:
Gonna play that electrified funky music now.
Hey wait a minute.
Now first it wasn't easy
Changin' rock n' roll and minds
And things were getting shaky
I thought I'd have to leave it behind
Oh but now it's so much better, it's so much better
I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin', ya know I won't
Of how I learned my lesson that day
The Chipmunks:
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, chipmunk
Play that funky music, right
Play that funky music, chipmunk
Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die
'Til you die, oh 'til you die
They shouted play that funky music, play that funky music
Play that funky music, gotta keep on playin' funky music
Play that funky music, play that funky music
Play that funky music, gotta take it higher now
Play that funky music, chipmunk
Play that funky music, right
Play that funky music, chipmunk
Play that funky music, right
Play that funky music
