When I first into town people
I was comin' down Hasting Street
Heard everybody talkin' about
Henry's Swing Club
I decided I'd drop in there that night
I got down there
Everybody was drinkin' bourbon,
Scotch, beer, and wine
And feelin' just fine
Said let's go people
Get boogie tonight
Well, the little red rooster
Told the little red hen
Meet me down at the barn
Bout half past ten
You bring the whiskey, child
I'll bring the wine
We get together gonna rock it tonight
We gonna boogie
Yeah, boogie til the break of dawn
Boogie Chillen
Boogie Chillen
Well, the mama told papa
The night before last
Boogie here daddy
He was runnin' outta gas
Boogied last night and the night before
Fly back here we gonna shake it some more
We gonna boogie
Yeah, boogie til the break of dawn
Boogie Chillen
Now one night I was layin' down
I could hear my mother and father talkin'
Hear my mama tell my daddy
Let that boy boogie woogie
It's in him, and it's got to come out
Lord I felt so good
Well I boogie woogie all night long
Yeah I did
Now when I'm feelin' cool
And good, baby
Like I feel right now
I let my guitar say what I say
Boogie Chillen
Boogie Chillen
Boogie Chillen
Well, you might be old
About ninety years
You ain't too old baby
To shift them gears
I was a little boy
In my future little address
Jumped right in man I boogied a mess
I had a boogie baby
Yeah, boogie til the break of dawn
Boogie Chillen
Boogie Chillen
