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

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....

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 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)
