| Yeah, I like to rock and I like to roll
|
| Most of all, darlin', I like to ball
|
| Boogie feels good and good in my heart
|
| Makes me so good I don’t think I’ll stop
|
| When I get to feelin' good I shake my thing
|
| I get to feelin' good, forget about everything
|
| I just get a booie deep down in my soul
|
| I’m not afraid to react, not afraid to let go
|
| I’m from Detroit where the boogie was born
|
| I been boogie’n since '51
|
| Taught to me by a fellow named John
|
| 'Corner of brush in '51' - say boogie baby
|
| Don’t be afraid, get a little closer, you know what I mean
|
| Yes, I keep a woman because she has my child
|
| I keep a girl, she’s got my child
|
| Some of the things she does just make my mind go wild
|
| I tell her back off, sometimes she don’t hear
|
| I tell her: 'Get back, baby' - sometimes she won’t hear
|
| Then she gets a little push, I make my position clear
|
| Look out, baby, I’m like a train conductor, baby
|
| When it comes to my life
|
| I’m like an airplane pilot, darlin'
|
| When it comes to my life
|
| I kick you off my flight if you keep on givin' me jive. |
