Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu

(album: Dr. John Plays Mac Rebennack: The Legendary Sessions, Vol. 2 - 1983)

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Want some loving, baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but she's way too tall
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Young and then [?] the breeze
Young girls are tougher and tighter they squeeze
But the young girl's hip, head down the hall
I got the rocking pneumonia, the boogie woogie flu

I want loving, baby, that ain't all
It's the last call for alcohol
Hey now, young man rhythm's got a hold on me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and boogie woogie flu, alright

I wanna love her but she ain't been home
I know she's leaving but she's taking too long
Yeah, young man rhythm's got a hold on me too
Got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

Hey Lord, it's alright
Hey Lord, it's alright
Upright, you got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I might fall
I wanna holler but the joint's too small
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me too
I got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu

I want some loving, baby, that ain't all
I wanna kiss her but the child's too tall
Young man rhythm's got a hold on me too
Got the rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu, alright
