Yeah, I like to rock and I like to roll.
But most of all, darlin', I like to ball.
The boogie feels good, and good in my heart.
it makes me so good, I don't think I'll stop.
When I get to feelin' good,
People, I shake my thing.
When I get to feelin' good,
I forget about everything.
I just get a booie
Deep down in my soul.
I'm not afraid to react,
And not afraid to let go.
Let go baby, now.
Yeah, I'm from Detroit where the boogie was born.
I been boogie'n back in '51
Taught to me by a fellow named John
'Corner of brush in '51' cause people down there know how to have fun.
All get together they clap their hand.
All get together they shake and dance.
All get together drink a little more wine.
All get together everything is just fine.
Yeah, late at night, when the moon gets right,
You and me, baby, down in ocean sights,
Hand in hand with nothing to lose,
Honey you take me, honey I'll take you,
And B double-O double-G I E 'till the night goes through.
And it feels alright.
And it feels alright.
And it feels alright.
Down on ocean sights.
And it feels alright.
In the water's sight.
With the waves rollin' in.
With the waves rollin' in.
Let me swim in your ocean, baby!
I keep a woman because she has my child.
I've keep a girl, she's got my child.
Some of the things she do's about to make my mind go wild.
I tell her back off, baby, sometimes she won't hear
I tell her get back, honey, sometimes she don't hear
But when she gives a little push, Lord knows I make my position clear.
I don't like no jiver
Or no two-timer.
Girls who stay out late,
And make my hair turn gray.
I just need a girl
Who'll be my own.
I just need a girl
Who'll keep my happy home.
Who'll keep her business to her own.
Who'll leave my love alone.
Who'll hold my hand,
And make my heart feel grand.
Who'll cook my food.
Who'll make my bed.
Who'll scratch my back.
Who'll rub my hair.
Talkin' 'bout you, baby.
Talkin' 'bout you, baby.
Talkin' 'bout you, baby.
Talkin' 'bout you.
Hidy-hey, Mona.
Hey, Mona.
Hidy-hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, Mona.
Hey, Mona's on that midnight train.
On that midnight train.
Comin' back again.
Boogie, baby!
