New Boogie Chillun

(album: Bad To The Bone - 1982)

When I first into town people
I was coming down Hasting Street
Heard everybody talking about
Henry's Swing Club
I decided I'd drop in there that night
I got down there
Everybody was drinking bourbon, scotch, beer, and wine
And feeling 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 running 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 laying down
I could hear my mother and father talking
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 feeling 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
