[Verse 1]
Oh, down in the pine woods and over in the holler
You buy a jug of squeezin' for two silver dollars
You never catch ’em workin' and still they keep it thrivin'
But when they hear a boogie beat they really get to jivin’
They love to do the boogie to the hoot owl boogie all night

[Chorus]
And they go "Hoot" they really started somethin'
With their hoot and everything is alright
Hoot, the woods are really jumpin' with the hoot owl boogie on a Saturday night

[Verse 2]
The gals work in dresses and they're kinda slow and talkin'
You think you got a cutie, you take her out and walkin'
Stollin' arm and arm beneath the lonesome pines
You're bound to get a kiss sweet as cherry wine
And then you do the boogie to the hoot owl boogie all night

[Chorus]
And she goes "Hoot" you really started somethin’
With with their hoot and everything is alright
Hoot, my happy heart is jumpin’ with the hoot owl boogie on a Saturday night

[Verse 3]
You take your baby home when daylight comes a peepin'
You never have to worry if the old folks are sleepin’
Hear the rooster crowin' and the hound dog [?]
Then you hear a car turn to her and say
Well sister done the boogie, well the hoot owl boogie all night
[Chorus]
And they go "Hoot" they really started somethin'
With the hoot and everything is alright
Hoot, the woods are really jumpin' with the hoot owl boogie on a Saturday night
Hoot-hoot, hoot, hoot-hoot, hoot, hoot-hoot
The hoot owl boogie on a Saturday night
