BOOGIE CHILLEN´

Well , my Mama she didn´t allow me, just to stay out all night long,
... ooh, Lord!
Well , my Mama didn´t allow me, just to stay out all night long,
I didn´t care if she didn´t allow me, I was boogie-woogie´n´ anyhow.

When I first came to town, people, I was walkin´ down Hastings Street,
I heard everybody talkin´ ´bout the Henry Swing Club.
I decided to drop in there that night, and when I got there,
I say, yes people, they we´re really havin´ a ball, yes I know .....
... boogie, chillen´!

One night I was layin´ down, I heard Mama and Papa talkin´,
I heard Papa tell Mama: Let that boy boogie woogie,
´cause it´s in him and it got to come out!
Well, I felt so good, and I went on boogie-woogie´n´ just the same,
... yes .....
