Walkin' the Boogie

Well, my mother allowed me

She had to run around all night long, oh Lord

Well, my mother allowed me

She had to run around all night long, oh Lord

I didn't care what she didn't love

I would slip out anyhow

When I was walkin' the town, people

I was walkin' down the old street

I hear everybody was talkin' about the club in Liston

I decided I drop in there that night

When I got there, I say, "Yes", people

They was really havin' a ball

Just chilling

One night, I was layin' down

I always hear mama and papa talkin'

He thought I was asleep when I've woken

I heard papa tell mama

"Let that boy boogie-woogie

Because it's in him, and it sure got to come out"

And I felt so good

Went on boogie just the same, oh-oh
