House Rockin' Boogie (1951) - Howlin' Wolf, Burnett

Good evening everybody

The Wolf is coming in town

You haven’t never see The Wolf

Play that guitar Willie Johnson, till it’s smoking

Look out piano man, whup that ivory there

'S my friend

Look out, er, violin player, step on it

My friend

Yes

Look out Willie Steel, whup that drum, boy

You know I’m just out of California

I’m on my way to Chicago

People have never seen the wolf there

I’m in your town when I get there

If I tell you, believe what I say

Aaaarh…

Beat it boy

You know I’ve got a girl in California, boy

She really swell

Got long black curly hair

I wish I were there

With her tonight

Boy, California’s a swell place

Wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else

In America

Blow your top

Blow your top

Blow your top

Just listen, peoples

At that music

That man on that piano

Is whupping that pearl

That guy on that guitar is Willie Johnson

Whupping just some guitar

Willie Steel’s on the drum

Aaaarh, look out there, violin man

Step on it

Ain’t that sweet

Now you just think to yourself

Let’s get it on

Let’s get it on

Whup some ivory there, boy

Good evening, peoples

The Wolf is in your town

I know you wanna see me

Aaaarh…

Ain’t that sweet

Darlin', that’s so sweet

I know you like sweet music, Darlin'

Just swing till you get satisfied
