Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You wanna jump, shout
And when the fuzz buzzed they'd join in
If you had the heebie-jeebies, you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies, you could dance away
And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town
To the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town
Then they would dance and drink their gin
The plinkin' and the plunkin' drove 'em up the wall
Because it made you wanna jump, shout, knock yourself out
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's goin' to town
It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
You hear in funky honky-tonks
(Floy-doy, floy-doy)
Wanna jump, shout
(Slip the talcum to me Malcom)
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
Shake it, yes, yes, yes
(Foo-der-acka-sacki)
It made you wanna jump, shout
And keep 'em comin' back for more
You could jump, shout and knock yourself out
To the boogie-woogie music
They went to hear the kind of jazz
It made you wanna jump, shout, knock yourself out
You could pull the switcheroonie if you felt low down
The piano man was playin'
Shake it, yes, yes, yes
They had to lift their spirits high
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
Shake it, yes, yes, yes
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
And every night that dump would jump
'Cause that's what boogie's for
In hot spots in the bronx
So everybody partied 'til the cows came home
For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie
