Crazy lazy days back in The UK
Art school we wore a gang sweatshirt
Guess what it said
My political stance was to get people to dance
And still stand by it today
John Lee Hooker for president
When I was 25 and so full of life
John Lee took me by the hand
In a GTO we did go into the fiery heart of a ghetto land
Living in a land where a man is no man
Until he's been to hell and back
One thing you've got to understand
You can't k** the boogieman
They're placing bets on John but don't listen
I tell everybody as long as you're around
The blues will always be living
Can't k** the boogieman
Can't k** the boogieman
Can't k** the boogieman No
Lord his ever shaking hand a buzz around the room
The power of a serpent in his finger
Relax release and let your mind drift away
You've got to be saved
Boogie the night away
Can't k** the boogieman (x3)
You know what they're talking about John
Your birthday I get to play
I tell everybody as long as you're around
The blues will be living that's what's coming down
Can't k** the boogieman (x4)
So I got down the road and that's my tale
Nobody knows me but they all know John
Healing hand one thing you've got to understand
Can't k** the boogieman
Boogie boogie all night long
All night blues and this is what the boogie can do for you
Can't k** the boogieman
