Shotgun Boogie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standin 'in here on the corner
with the barrel so straight.
I looked over the fence and over the gate.
Picked a fat rabbit, he was sittin' in the grass .
Wait'll he hears my whole shotgun blast.
Chorus:
Shotgun boogie,oh shotgun boogie,
Oh. Shotgun boogie makes me boogie woogie all the time.
Well, I met a pretty girl, she was tall and thin.
Asked her what she had, she said a Vox 410,
I looked her up and down and said boy this is love.
We headed for the bush to shout a big fat dove,
Shotgun boogie, oh shotgun boogie,
Look out mister rabbit because they're gunnin* you,
Oh, look out...
SOLO
Sat down on a log and took her in my lap
she said now wait a minute honey, you got to see my pap.
He's got a sixteen guage tall gun like a rifle,
he don't like men that's gonna trifle,
Shotgun boogie makes me boogie woogie all the time.
Well, I called on her pappy like a gentleman oughta,
he said no brush hunters gonna get my daughter,
He cocked that gun right on the spot,
but when the gun went off I outran that shot,
chorus
Oh. Shotgun boogie, oh shotgun boogie,
I wanted wedding bells and not your pappy's shells,
Oh, Shotgun boogie makes me boogie woogie all the time,
Oh. he was shooting low honey,
0 h,he got me on that second shot, ooh, I got it but I'll be back,
I only wanna talk.....
