The Boogie Blues
Now's the time when things are hot To show the world just what you've got Just grab a partner,hit the floor 'Cause this is what you're waiting for It's time for us to take a chance So get on up,got out and dance Just shout it out and spread the news About those low-down Boogie blues Now The Boogie Blues is nothin' new It started back in '22 Some guys and girls were sittin' 'round In a little club outside of town In walked a dude from parts unknown Without a friend,he was all alone Dressed up in tails and button shoes He taught them all The Boogie Blues I've got a dance you ought to know It's no too fast and not too slow It's not to hard and not too easy Not too straight and not too sleazy Something different,something new Something special just for you Something just to rock your shoes Something called The Boogie Blues Songtexte The Boogie Blues has got the beat The Boogie Blues will move your feet Feel the beat and spread the new About those low-down Boogie Blues The dude got up to whirl and dance Just like a dervish in a trance Spinning,twirling,up and down Round and round and round and round Just like Bojangles or Astaire A dapper dude without a care With flying feet,top hat and cane You knew he only drank champagne Just watching him would keep you busy Make you feel a little dizzy Such a sight for all to see The Boogie Blues done to a "T" Leaping high and doing splits The crowd was simply having fits They cheered until their throats were dry But soon he had to say goodbay I've had a ball the stranger said But I should quit while I'm ahead Those splits and leaps are hard to do They really take it out of you But in a minute when I am gone The night is young,it's far from dawn You've seen the dance,you've heard the news It's time to do The Boogie Blues The Boogie Blues has got the beat The Boogie Blues will move your feet Feel the beat and spread the news About those low-down Boogie Blues Aus Songtexte Mania
