[Chorus]
Wooh! Feelin good!
I wanna bugaloo!
I wanna bugaloo!
All night long

I was layin' down one night
I heared my mother and father talkin'
I heared mother tell father
Let that boy bugaloo!
It's in him, and its got to come out!

[Chorus]
Wooh! It felt so good
I wanted to bugaloo!
I wanted to bugaloo!
All night

Doing the twist, doing the shimmy
The Hully gully, and the twist
All night, all day
Yes sir! Yes sir!

And one day
When I first come to town
I heared everybody talking about
The twenty grand
In Detroit
I [?]
And when I got there, I heared him holla
Then I hollared
[Chorus]
Hollared, wooh! Feelin good, little children!
I wanna bugaloo!
I wanna bugaloo!
All night

But I said
I wanna twist, do the shimmy
The Hully gully, and the twist
All night
Hmm! Huh!
Uh! Uh!

[Chorus]
Wooh! Feelin good!
I wanna do the bugaloo!
I wanna do the bugaloo!
All night

I wanna shimmy, I wanna bugaloo
I'm gonna do the twist, I'm gonna do the back slide
I'm gonna do the back beack, I'm gonna do the shimmy
I'm gonna do the back beack
I'm gonna do my little shuffle
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Whoo!
