Went to go to see that band and saw them jump around
They went so commercial that it really brought me down
When they started making cash it went right to their heads
Now every time I hear their stuff it puts me right to bed

and I said
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music white boy
Play that funky music white boy
Lay down and boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

Went to go to see that band they waved their hair around
Just a bunch of hippies with their locks down to the ground
When they started making cash it really brought me down
How a bunch of pea-brain hippies have overrun out town

and I said
Play that hessian music white boy
Play that hessian music white boy
Play that hessian music white boy
Lay down and head-bang and play that hessian music 'til you die

Went to go to see that band their hats were big and round
I saw Black Bart and The Kid - knocked Little Joe to the ground
When they started making cash I really didn't care
Cuz they're all good ole' boys & treat me pretty fair

and I said
Play that country music cowboy
Play that country music cowboy
Play that country music cowboy
Lay down a 2-step and play that country music 'til you die
