Lyrics Beast's Boogie - Michelle Malone

Beast's Boogie

Down on Bankhead Highway in a one room country shack
You could hear his piano ringing like a custom Cadillac — like a Cadillac
Beast boogied to the ceiling — beast boogied thru the floor
I loved to hear beast boogie — but beast don’t boogie here no more
Piano by his bedside, cigarette burns in the wood
He’d let me keep the change I found in the the little house that could
Little house that could
Beast boogied to the ceiling — beast boogied thru the floor
I loved to hear beast boogie — but beast don’t boogie here no more
Lord my mama loved him — made her cry and made her laugh
He was the Sonny to her Cher, the petrol to her match — petrol to her match
Beast tore up the fly wheel riding mama’s clutch
5 times she said it’s over — 5 times was not enough
He loved me like a daughter — knew the words to all my songs
Sometimes you don’t know what you got til what you got is gone
Now the beast is gone
Beast boogied to the ceiling — beast boogied thru the floor
I loved to hear beast boogie — but beast don’t boogie here no more
