Well my mama she didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long, oh Lord
Well my mama didn't 'low me, just to stay out all night long
I didn't care what she didn't 'low, I would
Boogie-woogie
Anyhow
When I first came to town people, I was walkin' down Hastings Street

Everybody was talkin' about, the Henry Swing Club
I decided I drop in there that night
When I got there, I say, "Yes, people"
They was really havin' a ball!
Yes, I know
Boogie Chillun

One night I was layin' down
I heard mama 'n papa talkin'
I heard papa tell mama, let that boy boogie-woogie
It's in him, and it got to come out
And I felt so good
Went on boogie'n just the same
