One night I was layin' down,

I heard papa and mama talkin',

I heard mama talkin' to papa

let that boy boogie-woogie,

It's in him and it got to come out,

And I felt so good,

Im gonna boogiein' woogiein' just the same.

When I first came to town,

I was walkin' on Hastings Street,

everybody was talkin' about

the Henry Swing Club,

I dropped in there one night,

And, \"Yes, people\",

They really got the ball,

Boom boom boom boom,

I'm gonna shoot you right down,

right offa your feet,

Boom boom boom boom,

I’d like to see you walk,

up and down the floor,

When you talking to me,

that baby talk.

A-haw haw haw haw,

A-haw haw haw haw,

A-haw haw haw haw,

A-haw haw haw haw,

Well, my mama, she didn't 'low me,

Just to stay out all night long,

Well, my mama didn't 'low me,

just to stay out all night long,

I didn't care what she didn't 'low,

I’m gonna boogie-woogie anyhow.
