Boogie, boogie woogie
|
The boogie-woogie-woogie beat
|
Down in Africa, many years ago
|
There lived a little fella named Zulu Joe
|
He took his tom-tom, a great big stick
|
And that was the birth of the boogie lick
|
|
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
|
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
|
Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
Then Joe got hip and he started to sing
|
The animals flipped and began to swing
|
Monkey, Elephant, Kangaroo
|
They all picked up on the boogie too
|
|
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
|
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
|
Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
Well, the animals a-boogied all over the place
|
The rabbit spit in the bulldog's face
|
Joe kept a-beatin' 'til the early morn
|
And that's when the boogie-woogie was born
|
|
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
|
Birth of the boogie, birth of the boogie
|
Birth of the boogie, the boogie-woogie-woogie beat
|
