Boogie Chilen - John Lee Hocker

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 Chillin

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
