Playing old-time boogie and a young one too The old folks boogie like me and you Ain't nobody boogie like a poor boy do Everybody came travelling from miles around We'd stop for the boogie, when the sun goes down –––– shoes, like a poor boy do They're all slipping and sliding they got nothing to lose They do the shim sham shimmy ____ away those blues So ____ for the boogie like a poor boy do I heard papa tell mama, late last night You're getting too old, for to do the thing right So we ain't gonna boogie, with a broken light You can and boogie, have yourself a ball You can take it, you can break it, or hang it on the wall You can take it to the top, or bop till it drops Playing old-time boogie and a young one too The old folks boogie like me and you Ain't nobody boogie like a poor boy do
