I went through the whole number, you know. The swing era, the boogie woogie era, the bebop era. Thelonious Monk is still one of my favorites. So a lot of these people had their effect on me.

When I first came to town, people
I was walking down hasting street
Everybody was talkin about, henry swing club
I decided to stop in there for awhile
And man, when I got there
Yeah, they were really havin a ball
Sings:
Well, I feel so good
I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie
Well, to the break of day

Well, I feel so good
I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie, I wanna boogie
Well, to the break of day

Jump Shout Boogie
Well not to long ago in 1944
When every mothers son was goin' off to war
They had to lift there spirits high
For Uncle Sam ,mother hood and apple pie
Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have
In hot spots in the Bronx
They went to here the kind of jazz
You hear in funky hunky tonks
[Chorus:]
It made you wanna
Jump! shout! knock your self out
The bogie-wogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you have the heebie jeebies you can dance away
To the bogie-wogie music the piano man was playin'
And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talking about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat of a piano man who's going to town
It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin' and the pluckin' drove 'em off the wall
And they would dance and drink their gin
And when the fuzz, buzzed they joined in
So everybody partied 'till the cows came home
'cause that's what boggie's for
And everynight that dump will jump
And keepem' coming back for more
Because they make you wanna....
[Chorus]
It made you wanna jump, shout
Who wanna jump! shout
You wanna jump! shout
To the boogie-woogie music the piano man was playin'
You could jump! shout! knock yourself out
The boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talking about
You could pull a switcharoonie if your felt low down
To the boogie-woogie beat of piano (laughter)
Shake it yes, yes, yes [8x]

Boogie Man
Some people say Im only out at night
Maybe those folks might of got it right
And some people say I drive a cadillac car
Or sell my wares hauntin hotel bars
Im the boogie man, the boogie man
I like fine suits, smoke the best cigars
Like talking sex to women, girls in fast cars
I might be under the bed, ready to bite
So little girl, be careful, when youre on your own tonight
Im your boogie man, your boogie man
And I hope, that you dont misunderstand your boogie man
And dont let the sun come up on me, your boogie man
Im your boogie man, your boogie man

I like to play around with boogie toys
I need a boogie girl to boogie too
I need a doogie God my shoe to chew
I like to make a dumb ass noise
Because I m a boogie boogie boy
Now every mornin I wake up at nine

Im reading that book but its not too good
Cuz my boogie head is made outta wood
It s a fact I get s0 much joy
When I can go out and be a boggie boy
Like to eat spaghetti with tomato sauce
I like to eat clams with spanish moss
I like to go down to mash potato town
Cuz thats where a boogie boy can get

Like to make noise
Like to go out and be a boogie boy
