Next to Louisiana on the |
|
Texas side |
|
There's a little country joint where they let it ride |
|
There's a boogie woogie man on the piano |
|
An' all the backwoods boppers shoutin', "Go cat, go" |
|
They've never been afraid of the boogie man |
|
Nothin' makes you feel better than the boogie woogie can |
|
So don't you be afraid of the boogie man |
|
He'll take you down to |
|
New Orleans where that rhythm all began |
|
So don't you, don't you be afraid of the boogie man |
|
Grandpa's in the corner in his fishing clothes |
|
Reelin' to the rhythm everywhere it goes |
|
All the boogie woogie babies tearing up the floor |
|
When they get a little bit, they want a little bit more |
|
They've never been afraid of the boogie man |
|
Nothin' makes you feel better than the boogie woogie can |
|
So, don't you be afraid of the boogie man |
|
He'll take you down to |
|
New Orleans where that rhythm all began |
|
So, don't you don't you be afraid of the boogie man |
|
In a red El |
|
Dorado, at the break of day |
|
That boogie woogie man'll be slipping away |
|
Although you're never gonna know it when he's out of sight |
|
He'll shut a juke box down again tomorrow night |
|
He's never been afraid of the boogie man |
|
Nothin' makes you feel better than the boogie woogie can |
|
So don't you be afraid of the boogie man |
|
He'll take you down to |
|
New Orleans where that rhythm all began |
|
It works for me, it'll work for you |
|
He'll have you doin' things that you didn't know you knew |
|
So don't you don't you be afraid |
|
No, don't ya don't you be afraid of the boogie man, no |
