|
Now's the time when things are hot
|
To show the world just what you've got
|
Just grab a partner,hit the floor
|
'Cause this is what you're waiting for
|
It's time for us to take a chance
|
So get on up,got out and dance
|
Just shout it out and spread the news
|
About those low-down Boogie blues
|
|
Now The Boogie Blues is nothin' new
|
It started back in '22
|
Some guys and girls were sittin' 'round
|
In a little club outside of town
|
In walked a dude from parts unknown
|
Without a friend,he was all alone
|
Dressed up in tails and button shoes
|
He taught them all The Boogie Blues
|
|
I've got a dance you ought to know
|
It's no too fast and not too slow
|
It's not to hard and not too easy
|
Not too straight and not too sleazy
|
Something different,something new
|
Something special just for you
|
Something just to rock your shoes
|
Something called The Boogie Blues
|
|
The Boogie Blues has got the beat
|
|
The Boogie Blues will move your feet
|
|
Feel the beat and spread the new
|
|
About those low-down Boogie Blues
|
|
The dude got up to whirl and dance
|
Just like a dervish in a trance
|
Spinning,twirling,up and down
|
Round and round and round and round
|
Just like Bojangles or Astaire
|
A dapper dude without a care
|
With flying feet,top hat and cane
|
You knew he only drank champagne
|
|
Just watching him would keep you busy
|
Make you feel a little dizzy
|
Such a sight for all to see
|
The Boogie Blues done to a "T"
|
Leaping high and doing splits
|
The crowd was simply having fits
|
They cheered until their throats were dry
|
But soon he had to say goodbay
|
|
I've had a ball the stranger said
|
But I should quit while I'm ahead
|
Those splits and leaps are hard to do
|
They really take it out of you
|
But in a minute when I am gone
|
The night is young,it's far from dawn
|
You've seen the dance,you've heard the news
|
It's time to do The Boogie Blues
|
|
The Boogie Blues has got the beat
|
|
The Boogie Blues will move your feet
|
|
Feel the beat and spread the news
|
|
About those low-down Boogie Blues
