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 'em 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!

[Instrumental Break]
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!
(Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi!)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!
(Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!)
Keeps you groovy twenty-four hours a day!
