Play That Funky Music (Live/1991) - Vanilla Ice

Yo' Vanilla kick it one time boooy

Oh yeah, gotta gotta yep yep

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'till ya' die

Check it out, 'cause Ice is rhyming

To the top I keep on climbing

Suckas, thought I couldn't swing this

Now rock the crowd and get a pump-fist

Go Ice, everybody is sayin'

To the funky beat that's playing

If you wanna stop me you can't hang

Vanilla is in this with a shotgun bang

Extreme is where I'm taking it

One week MCs just keep on faking it

Smoooth, like strawberry ice cream

Flow with the beat real smooth and nicely

Ladies, I wanna rock with you

And later in the night, you know I'd like to persue

Something, real sexy and nice

Play that funky music Vanilla Ice!

Play that funky music

Play that funky music riiight - Pump it up!

Play that funky music riiight - I can't hear you!

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

Play that funky music

Play that funky music riiight - Pump it up!

Play that funky music riiight - I can't hear you!

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

Some people thought I wouldn't break

Then I stuffed number one in their face

Never, forget where I came from

Don't lose your head, heh, 'cause you can get dumb

Do it, is my motto for the moment

Get in my way, I'll knock you out like my opponent

'Cause in this life it's one for all

All for one and a loud no downfall

Punks, always wanna get some

Pick pockets and then they try to play dumb

Yo, take it from the Ice man

Lyrical poet with a master plan

Telling you how it is in show biz

A white rapper with some street knowledge

I write the rhyme for you, yeeeah

Drop this one for the V.I.P. crew

Play that funky music

Play that funky music riiight - Pump it up!

Play that funky music riiight - I can't hear you!

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

Vanilla Ice, yep yep, I come in hard like a rhino

Intoxicate you so you stagger like a wino

So stop trying, girl stop crying

Vanilla Ice is selling and you people are buying

It's not me, it's my posse, too

That's why you freaks are talking like Crazy Glue

Movin', and groovin' trying to sing along

All through the ghetto groovin' this here song

Now you're amazed, by the V.I.P posse

Steppin' so hard like a German Nazi

Startled by the vases hittin' the ground

There's no trippin' on mine, I'm just gettin' down

Spark-o-Matic I'm hangin' tight like a fanatic

You trapped me once, and I thought you might have it

So sit down and lend me your ear

'Cause 1990 is my year, baby

Play that funky music

Play that funky music riiight - Pump it up!

Play that funky music riiight - I can't hear you!

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

You're wreakin' vast, NO!, and I can tell it

Your body's gettin' hot, SO?, so I can smell it

So don't be mad, and don't be sad

'Cause your lyrics brung the Ice(SSS)

You can call me Dad

You're pitchin' a fit, so step back and endure

Witch doctor Ice(SSS) will do the dance to cure

Come up close, uh, and don't be square

You wanna' battle me? Anytime, anywhere

You thought that I was weak

Boy, you're dead wrong

Come on everybody, let's sing this song

Say, Play that funky music

-Play that funky music

Say, Go white boy, Go white boy, Go

-Go white boy, Go white boy, Go

Just lay down and boogie, and play that funky music 'til you die

Play that funky music

Play that funky music riiight - Pump it up!

Play that funky music riiight - I can't hear you!

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music 'til you die

Pump it Up!

Uh

Ah

That's right baby.
