Lyrics:
Don’t knock the boogie
Don’t knock the boogie
It’ll set you free
Oh, don’t knock the boogie
It’ll work for you
And it’ll work for me
Don’t knock the boogie
It was about half past midnight
I walked into a bar and ordered a beer
There was a band over in the corner
Playing something by John Lee Hooker
And it felt so good
Yeah it got inside my brain
The singer was some guy f
rom southern Mississippi
He had a wicked eye
but he could lay a lip along a lyric
And the drummer was a cat
they called Crazy Legs, from Alabama
Boy he could hit the skins like nobody’s business
And on the guitar
some cat named Lightning Slim
He went up and down that neck like lightning
I guess that’s how he got his name
And the man on the bass, from down in Georgia
Somebody said he did some time
Committed some crime
But I don’t really know
Could just be a rumor
And over in the corner where the lights were low
I saw this woman
She had a gold tooth in her mouth
that glistened when she smiled
Yeah
And she gave me the eye
She gave me the eye
Yeah you know what I mean
So I went over there and I said “Is this seat taken?”
She looked at me and said “Well, now it is”
I said “Baby, what’s on your mind?”
She just looked at me with that Siamese smile
She leaned over and whispered in my ear
Don’t knock the boogie
Don’t knock the boogie
It’ll set you free
Yeah don’t knock the boogie
It’ll work for you
And it’ll work for me
Don’t knock the boogie
Come on Slim
That’s right
Don’t knock the boogie
Don’t knock the boogie
It’ll set you free
Don’t knock the boogie
It’ll work for you
And it’ll work for me
Don’t knock the boogie
Don’t knock the boogie
