It's called getting ready for a boogie
Yes I know
Well my mama don't allow me
Just to run around all night long
All alone
Well my mama don't allow me
Just to run around all night long
I didn't care if mama allowed
I was boogieing anyhow
When I first entered town people
I was coming down Hastings Street
And I was in the Henry Swing Club
I got down there that night
And we're really having a ball
I said let's go people
We can boogie tonight
Boogie chillin'
Now one night I was laying down
I hear my mom and papa talking
Hear my mama tell my daddy
Let that boy boogie woogie
It's in him
And it's got to come out
Well I felt so good
When I boogie woogie all night long
Yes yes
I hear mama tell papa again
Why are you so cruel on the boy
He said I don't know
In my day
Boys just didn't run around at 18 and 19 years old
But I hear her tell papa
That boy is a man
Let him boogie woogie all night long
And I felt so good
I've been boogieing ever since that day
Boogie chillin'
Hey hey
Hey hey
Boogie chillin'
