The True Wielder of the Music Strings/Branch's World Tour

History of Funk and Bounty Hunters

As Branch and John headed downstream, the younger brother looked through his brother's things, trying to see if he could find any sort of funk tapes so they could play. After some shuffling, he found a classic.

"Hey...do it now...yeah hey

Yeah, once I was a boogie singer, playin' in a rock & roll band

I never had no problems, yeah, burnin' down the one-night stands

And everything around me, yeah, got to start to feelin' so low

And I decided quickly (yes, I did) to disco down 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 white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die...

(hey, hey) till you die...yeah, yeah

Well, I tried to understand this (yeah

Heh, I thought that they were out of their minds

How could I be so foolish

How could I?

Tonight's the hours, the one behind?

So still I kept on fightin'

Well, losing ' every step of the way (hey, what'd you do?)

I said, "I must go back there" I got to go back

And check to see if things still the same

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 white boy

Play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy

Lay down that boogie and play that funky music till you die... (heh)

Till you die...(Yeah)

Oh, till you die

Gonna play some electrified funky music, yow

Hey wait a minute

Now first it wasn't easy

Changing 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 feeling (no I won't)

Of how I learned my lesson that day

When they were dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'

And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
