John Lee's Original Boogie |
| When I first come to town, I didn’t know my way around |
| Heard everybody talkin' 'bout Henry’s swing club |
| I decided I’d go there |
| When I got there, boy, it really was jumpin' |
| Well my mama, she didn’t allow it, to stay out all night long |
| But I didn’t care, what my mama didn’t allow |
| I would stay out, anyhow |
| One night I was layin' in the bed |
| I heard papa tellin' mama: |
| Don’t bother that boy about Boogie Wogie |
| 'Cause it’s in him, and it’s got to come out |
