Lyrics Boogie Smoogie - Atlanta Rhythm Section

Boogie Smoogie

If you’re down in Jacksonville
Stay away from Rainbow Grill
It’s a juke joint, it’s a dive
People there ain’t nothin' but jive
It’s a haven for the hookers, yeah
It’s a redneck paradise
(And people there, they’re so nice)
One night I was horny — horny as hell
So I ended up down at the Grill
A redheaded woman, poured in her pants
Said she was ready — ready to dance
Lord, that woman loved to boogie
Boogie Woogie all night long…
(And I’m talking 'bout romance)
(Lord I miss her so)
Turnin' green, got the shakes
I got that morning-after, sour bellyache
Feelin' blue, half dead
Ooh… my head
I went to sleep with an angel
Woke up with a devil in my bed…
Alright…
We played a gig down at Cooley’s Ballroom
Back when we were breakin' in
We tried to play pretty for the people
But people kept hollerin' - «Boogie!»
Sweet baby…
We like reggae and we dig country
Classical music’s a gas
We played the blues in three quarter time
But they don’t wanna hear that jazz
They just want boogie!
Sweet boogie
Just want boogie
Hmmm… Boogie Schmoogie
Have some…
We like reggae and we dig country
Classical music’s a gas
We played the blues in three quarter time
But they don’t wanna hear no jazz
They want boogie!
They just want boogie
Boogie
They just want boogie
Oh boogie
They just want boogie
(Ha ha
If you like it, you must be all right)
Boogie…
…Dig it
