Can't Kill The Boogieman |
Crazy lazy days back in The UK |
Art school we wore a gang sweatshirt |
Guess what it said |
My political stance was to get people to dance |
And still stand by it today |
John Lee Hooker for president |
When I was 25 and so full of life |
John Lee took me by the hand |
In a GTO we did go into the fiery heart of a ghetto land |
Living in a land where a man is no man |
Until he’s been to hell and back |
One thing you’ve got to understand |
You can’t kill the boogieman |
They’re placing bets on John but don’t listen |
I tell everybody as long as you’re around |
The blues will always be living |
Can’t kill the boogieman |
Can’t kill the boogieman |
Can’t kill the boogieman No |
Lord his ever shaking hand a buzz around the room |
The power of a serpent in his finger |
Relax release and let your mind drift away |
You’ve got to be saved |
Boogie the night away |
Can’t kill the boogieman (x3) |
You know what they’re talking about John |
Your birthday I get to play |
I tell everybody as long as you’re around |
The blues will be living that’s what’s coming down |
Can’t kill the boogieman (x4) |
So I got down the road and that’s my tale |
Nobody knows me but they all know John |
Healing hand one thing you’ve got to understand |
Can’t kill the boogieman |
Boogie boogie all night long |
All night blues and this is what the boogie can do for you |
Can’t kill the boogieman |
(Eric Burdon) |
