[spoken:]
when i first came to town, people
i was walking down hasting street
everybody was talkin' about, henry swing club
i decided to stop in there for awhile
and man, when i got there
yeah, they were really havin' a ball
[sings:]
well, i feel so good
i wanna boogie, i wanna boogie, i wanna boogie
well, to the break of day
(say, it again)
well, i feel so good
i wanna boogie, i wanna boogie, i wanna boogie
well, to the break of day
(alright)
when i was a young boy
i was layin' down one night
and i heard ma and pa talkin'
i heard pa tell ma
"hey, come on, let that boy boogie-woogie
'cause you know it's in him
and it's just got to come out"
'cause it's in him
and it's just got to come out
well, feels so good, child
i wanna boogie, i wanna boogie, i wanna boogie
lord, 'til the break-a day
(chillen, i'm chillen here)
well, feels so good, now lord
i wanna boogie, i wanna boogie, i wanna boogie
yeah-ow, 'til the break of day |
