Here's a little tune we're gonna play for you,
|
There ain't nothin' to it and it's easy to do:
|
Called the Calloway Boogie,
|
It's the Calloway Boogie,
|
Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!
|
|
If you like music with a boogie beat,
|
Here's a little ditty that's really all reet!
|
It's the Calloway Boogie,
|
It's the Calloway Boogie,
|
Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!
|
|
I woke up with the blues the other day,
|
The cats started jamming and they blew away.
|
With the Calloway Boogie,
|
The Calloway Boogie,
|
Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!
|
|
We play waltzes, bebop and jive,
|
But here's the kind of music that keeps you alive!
|
It's the Calloway Boogie,
|
It's the Calloway Boogie,
|
Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!
|
|
If you like boogie with some hi-de-ho,
|
Just listen to me, here's the way it goes:
|
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi!
|
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!
|
Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!
