📜 Lyrics
I was just a boy of 14
Playin’ in a lounge act band
Drunk old ladies hitting on me
Burnin’ up the Elk’s Club bandstand
You think Your Mama Don’t Dance (yeah!)
You don’t know the things that I know
That even though they’re older (really old!)
They wanna groove and check out the show
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 Mooseboy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music Mooseboy
Lay down that boogie and play the funky music till you die
(hey, hey!) till you die
Yeah, yeah
Can you play some Michael Jackson? (Yeah, right)
We’ll play something else if you don’t mind
See that Long Train Runnin’, watch it disappear
As long as you can shake your behind
For years I kept on playin’
Whoa, takin’ home my fifty bucks pay (Yeah, what’d you do?)
I said, “I will pay Freebird” - You wanna hear that?
And then we’ll go right into Proud Mary
‘Cause we were dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ to the groovin’
And just when I felt cheap somebody turned around and shouted
Play that funky music Mooseboy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music Mooseboy
Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till I die?…(Yeah!) Um, till I… die
(Play some electrified funky music!)
Lemme tell ya - In time I learned to love it
Better than a real day job
But it was getting late now
The Heart of Elkdom swells and it throbs
So let’s play After the Lovin’ (with a key change)
Pack up our stuff and call it a day
But I never lost that feelin’ (I can tell)
That lounge acts were my musical way
I want you dancin’ and singin’ and movin’ with my groovin’
And if you can dig it somebody shout aloud and tell me
Play that funky music Mooseboy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music Mooseboy
Lay down that boogie and play your funky music till you die
(Till you die!)
You know, I’m not really comfortable with that part
(duly noted)
Playin’ in a lounge act band
Drunk old ladies hitting on me
